OEM GM Weather Stripping

Weather stripping helps seal your GM vehicle against dirt, moisture, and wind and keeps closing your car door quieter. A weather strip is simply a piece or slat of rubber and soft plastic, held in place by adhesive and, sometimes, a set of screws. Figuring out when to replace weather stripping is easy. Listen for the sound of fast-moving air through your car doors or windows while driving. You can also look for telltale water stains on your upholstery, floor, or even carpet floor mats. But it's probably simplest to look for where your weather stripping might have failed. Look for the channels where water's traveling, for worn areas, or parts of weather strips that are cracking or brittle. How to install weather stripping on a car is just as straightforward. First, take out any screws securing the pieces. Then, pull the stripping and underlying adhesive layer away. You can use adhesive remover if you need to. Follow up by cleaning and drying the stripping channel with a cloth. Then, reapply new adhesive and press your weather stripping gently into its channel. Align it, then put stronger pressure on it. Finally, replace the relevant weather-stripping screws. Be sure any replacements you use are the same type and length as previous pieces were.
