Rear Hatch Weatherstrip
It looks like my rear hatch weatherstrip could use replacing. Not too bad, just needs replacing. I found this on ebay and am curious what everybody thinks about it. Has anyone ever used it? Where would a person go to get some weatherstripping if it isn't any good.
Thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1991-...mZ190107151766

Re: Rear Hatch Weatherstrip
John, on the rear hatch weather strip I insist on GM pieces. The aftermarket ones seem to always be a little "short" and don't fit right.

Re: Rear Hatch Weatherstrip
I changed mine with a GM replacement. I changed it by my self, but would have had an easier time of it had I had somebody to give me a hand. Just a little messy.

Re: Rear Hatch Weatherstrip
Mine needs replacing too. Is the one at mid america comparable in quality and price? Do they come with adhesive? How long does the replacement take for the average curb side mechanic. Thanks all. And thanks for the great people here.

Re: Rear Hatch Weatherstrip
I got mine (GM factory part) through Mid-America last year at Funfest (10% off), and it's a pretty easy job. Remove rear plastic trim pieces, remove the old weatherstrip, slide the new one in place, replace trim pieces. You'll need to undo the hatch struts one at a time to get the new weatherstrip in place. I did this by myself, wasn't that bad at all and took less than an hour. No sealer is needed, just remove the old one and slide the new one on. It does go a bit easier if you lay out the new weatherstrip in the sun for a bit to soften it up first.
