As Jeff says, it's easy. You might want to pick up a cheap plastic
upholstery panel tool to lift the channel out. Other than that, it's a
no-tools deal. Maybe a rubber hammer to tap things in place and a dash of
rubber trim adhesive here and there.

On other cars I've had to remove the window with the mechanism to get at pop

channel down to the bottom of the door.

I'll check the vendors.

Thanks!

I think that most of the onliune vendors carry the replacements for these.

I have done this it isn't really all that hard. They will just pull off and
the new ones should just go back on the same way. No real tools necessary if
I remember correctly.

Providing I am understanding you correctly. I replaced the entire window
rubber on my '85 with the ones from my '90

Thanks,
