    What was the reason for replacing that seal? Any tip for getting the new ones in? or is it a fairly easy install

    I added a bolt once...
    Dropped a tire off at Discount Tires... Picked up a 3/8" x 2" lag screw. Hope it's salvagable. Tire has 3600 miles on it.

    You're welcome.
    It comes in pretty handy although on some occasions you have to check with the dealer to see if there is an updated part number or a part is not available.
    I also would use those prices as an estimation.

    Mine started to look moldy/cracked like other members have described their trim. Mine weren't even that bad but the trim pieces are cheap and now they look brand new.

    edit: not look brand new... they are brand new, ha

    That broken edge is all part of the door belt molding, you don't need to replace your entire window weather seal. I replaced all 4 belt moldings on my truck. They were ugly with age.

    That's what I was looking for. I didn't know if the front and back overlapping tabs were on the lower part only. those pictures make it more clear. Thanks :cheers:

    Finally got some nice weather so I was able to clean my K&N air filter and fixed a stupid exhaust rattle that"s been bugging be since fall.
    Heat shield got loose and was sitting on the cat. Quick washer sitting around and rattle is gone.

    I removed fender flares and liners today - getting ready to trim. I really like the clean look of no flares. I’m tempted to not put them back on - I don’t know - gotta think about it. I was amazed at the increased clearance without them. I did leave the passenger liner in for now.







    I got this tool set from Amazon for like $12. It was a great help.
