    Vertical "B Pillar" seal. Please help!

    My passenger side vertical seal between my front and rear window is ripped. I've tried looking up how to replace it but haven't been able to find it on here. Anyone have any experience with it?

        Not sure where these are. Neither of my verts have "seals"'there

          It's the black piece mounted to the front edge of the rear windows which allows them to seal with the front windows

            Mine are just metal? I see no rubber or anything like that. Is there supposed to be?

              Is it super loud and you can hear wind or water gets in through the windows?

                Yes, there should be a rubber seal/gasket on the forward part of the rear side windows. In the second pic down on this post you can see the rubber gasket sitting behind (or on the inside of) the front driver's side window.

                  My wife's passenger side just failed but prior they were both perfect and mine have been shot since I bought the car. The difference in noise between hers and mine is pretty substantial from mainly just those seals.

                    My passenger side is so effing loud, wasn't a big deal before but my husbands coupe broke so he has my daily for like a month and it's driving me crazy.

                      rcsound, it's weird because when you buy them new they have a felt-like covering. It's not exactly rubber. If yours are just metal then your windows probably rattle when you drive? And you get rain water on the floor boards behind the seats?

                        Yes to both. Guess I need a set of 4.

                          Only 1 per side

                          2 per car. If anyone reading this has not replaced theirs, they should. There is a big difference in noise and, of course, water barrier between new and one that has been exposed to the sun for much time. They are not very expensive and fairly easy to replace.

                          Even after adjusting my windows, I have to put backs up last or I get binding on passenger side with the top up. Carefully check yours after replacing as you don't want to ruin a new gasket right after installation!
