Air noises from the drive door

^^ what he said, in essence you always have to 'prevent' your rubber from drying up. Like i've said earlier in other threads:
toyota tech told me to do this on a yearly basis - take soapy water and rag and clean the weather-stripping once a year (your just removing dirt by this process). Then polish it with something that will prevent it from drying. I do this myself yearly....been doing it on my ES as well (since it too has frameless windows, i've yet to have wind noices)

so can we change the weather stripping ourselves or take it to the shop ?

[WTF??]

A curious question, how come it always from the driver side, and never from the passenger? doesnt it sound kinda odd that it alway the driver side, and it seem that a lot of people experience the same thing on the forum. Could it be a flaw in our solara design

Which side of your car do you get in and out of the most? Simple logic that the door that sees the most use (someone has to be in the driver's seat any time you go somewhere, right?) will see the most wear and tear.

^couldnt say it any better.... common sense.... not a flaw

so can we change the weather stripping ourselves or take it to the shop ?

you can do it yourself... OR you can pay to watch someone else do it and pay them... theyre just simply held in by clips... but id go with Jai and duffman on moisterizing the weather stripping

It's on the right door near the hinges.
The white seal for the door is cracked all the way down the door.
The window is good, and the weatherstripping is good too.
How do i fix the cracked seal for the door??

Hey Paladin06Greg, that site didn't have the weatherstripping for the car, either that or i'm looking in the wrong area.

Would any of this be under warranty? The weatherstripping, the cracking by the hinges, the window going up too far.
