    I've seen more than a few posts about replacing the window belt weatherstrip. The Toyota replacement parts are ~$40.00 each + shipping. Mine are worn out, and I'd like to replace them.
    Has anyone found a brand or seller that they think are good or have provided good service. There are lots of sets for all four door that are within $10.00 +/- to the cost for one Toyota weatherstrip.
    I'd appreciate any advice, thanks

    I did my 07 Prius a year ago... Very easy job... I got it from a wrecking yard for $15 and there were multiple vehicles to choose from so I got to pick the best one.

    Gosh I can hardly believe the lack of responses. I think anything in a salvage yard would be as bad as mine, plus I can't see removing four of them and not damaging at least two; they don't come out without a fair amount of force. I live in Arizona, they were so sun worn that my fingers would end up with black sludge of them if rested on the window ledge with the window down. I did buy a set (online) through X auto tree; the front ones were 1/4" too long and I returned them. Then I bought a set of A Premium, They were pretty close to the original ones and seemed made fairly well. Only time will tell how they hold up.
