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.
Funny I see this, I was going to look up the same thing this week. The weatherstrip on my drivers side door just this last weekend split apart, but yeah I sure woudln't go salvage. Do you have a link to the ones you got? Any tips on replacement?
If you can inspect and choose the best one at a wrecker you won't be disappointed and you'll save lots of money. Not just that, but buying brand new parts for a 16 year old car means the lifespan of that part is not congruent with the lifespan of the vehicle.
They're about $23 each on Amayama. Factoring in shipping and tariffs, that may still come out cheaper than buying locally. Toyota is also reportedly having another sale for Black Friday: Toyota Autoparts: Black Friday Sale: 25% off all Genuine Parts, Accessories, & Lifestyle Parts
