Window wipers/seals (window sweeps)
« on: May 23, 2012, 08:54:46 PM »
I was wondering if anyone has a source for the Rubber squegee pieces that run horizontally at the bottom of the window... The ones that prevent water, dirt etc. from getting into the door.  My new-to-me sx4 has some that are cracked and falling apart and I would really like to replace them.  I think I found some, but they are $55 a pair for just one side.

*edit

Just remembered what they were called.  "Window Sweeps"

I got mine (SX/4) from this guy:  http://amcrambler.com/index.html

Haven't put them on yet, but they appear to be quality.

Yep, those are the ones I found.  $110 is pretty steep, but I also know what's involved with getting custom molds made for rubber and plastic parts.  No doubt they are worth it, but I don't have that kind of $ to spend on them at the moment.

The majority of mine had cracked off.  The car is in a garage now, so I didn't need them on yet.  I know what you mean.  I'm not looking forward to replacing the door AND hatch weatherstripping...  :(
