ive looked all over and i cant find anything on google or youtube about the back glass rubber strip for civics.
I have a leak that is getting a pool of water in my trunk and I noticed my rubber trim (weatherstrip?) on rear window (back glass) of my 2000 coupe HX has a 2 inch hole where the trim edge chipped off on the corner of the bottom passengers side and the corner of the top passengers side has broken and the top half is coming off the corner.
Is this thing a weatherstrip that keeps water out of my trunk/back glass or is it just a trim for looks? Either way I need to replace it because it is ugly and broken.
I don't have pics here at work but in the morning I will add a couple.
1. Would this cause a leak into my trunk?
2. When I replace the trim strip, does it just pop in around the window or do I have to have the whole glass removed, trim replaced, and glass replaced? (please tell me I won't lol) If it is a pop-in DIY then are there clips anywhere?
