The cost of weather strips can vary significantly based on the make and model of your vehicle, ranging from $10 to $150 for parts alone.
Costs can be influenced by material quality, brand reputation, and whether the part is OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or aftermarket.
Common materials for weather strips include rubber, foam, and vinyl, each with unique properties impacting durability and cost.
Weather strips are used in doors, windows, and trunk lids to prevent moisture, dust, and noise from entering the vehicle.
Follow these steps to measure your vehicle correctly:
1. Gather required tools: measuring tape, pen, and paper.
2. Open the door/window where the weatherstrip will go.
3. Measure the length and width of the area.
4. Record your measurements accurately.
You can purchase weather strips from various sources, including:
• Online retailers (Amazon, eBay)
• Auto parts stores (AutoZone, O'Reilly)
• Dealerships for OEM parts.
Consider the benefits of online shopping for convenience and potential savings versus in-store for immediate availability and professional advice.
Gather these tools before starting the installation:
• Screwdriver
• Utility knife
• Cleaning cloth
• Measuring tape.
To install your weatherstrips, follow these steps:
1. Remove the old weatherstrip, if applicable.
2. Clean the surface where the new weatherstrip will be installed.
3. Measure and cut the new weatherstrip to fit.
4. Apply adhesive if required.
5. Press the new weatherstrip into place ensuring a tight fit.
To ensure a successful installation, avoid these common mistakes:
• Failing to clean the surface thoroughly
