Hi All,

My rear window strips (the vertical ones) have started to rust at the bottom. Having received some new strips from Dan, I was just wondering if they are a straight pull off and push on affair (like the rubber door seals) or are there parts I need to remove/refit..

Anyone done this already before I go and break something or spend 4 hours on a 5 minute job?

Thx Ash

Hi Comports,

I just changed my weather strips this last week because of the same issue, rust. Mine were pretty bad.
It's a pretty forward operation. I lifted them up on one side with a flat screwdriver, covered in a cloth to avoid scratching my bodywork. They come of pretty easy once you have lifted a corner. The new ones I just hammered in with my hands.

Good luck.

anyone know what these strips are for? ... - .- -.

I imagine they are here to ever so slightly reduce wind noise.

it does look better without them. Since I have them in stock I will most likely put them on and report if they do make any difference. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Do these have aluminium in them? Mine had what looked like HAO residue at the bottom.... 17 MY Corris Grey 4.4 VAB

HI VeryDisco,

Did you do yours in the end. I fitted mine but like you could not find a way to stick the tabs as they fit behind the glass.

As it happens LR kindly offered to fit a new upper tailgate 2 weeks after I tried mine and fitted new ones as part of the service. I think the window has to come off to locate the sticky strip correctly. Ash

yep, no way the tabs are going in once you peel off the sticky tape strip. Any tips guys?

Sorry for upping this, since I'm interested in the "how to":
- remove the strips (they seem tight fastened)
- put back new strips

I believe I can't do this by myself, but I also believe it's not compulsory to ask a LR dealer do it too...

Thanks for your advices
