    Default seals broken

    the windscreen seal i sbroken on my car. the little black l peice from the bottom corner came off and the black strip above it is almost coming off. so when i got about 100 ish or if its really windy the strip vibrates and is very noisy once it come off and was flicking around the side window. would it be worth getting the whole seal redone?

    also the seal on the back door is gone too. completely. the door shakes when driving and when you push it (softly) the door moves in about a cm. the other doors dont move hardly at all. what should i do for that?

    not sure about the windscreen, i think those plastic bits just glue back on though.
    get a new seal for the back door, put it on, and hopefully problem fixed!

    i think the bit that stops the water is where the seal behind the glass seals. i dont think the plastic around the edges does much other than look good adn protect the actual weather seals.

    My plastic strip on the windscreen does the same thing. I have seen a modern type windscreen seal for vl's on ebay for around $65 and it is like the vr/vs ones and gives it a very up to date look.
