Cleaning quarter windows.

[86capriasc]

What is the best way to clean these on the coupes?
I don't want to ruin the weatherstrip.

Or, what is the best replacement for the old weatherstrip?

You can remove the 3 small screws in the "B" pillar, and remove the vertical aluminum flat black moulding. Then gently slide out the darkened plexiglass window, on the track. You can wash it (both sides) with warm soapy water and while out, clean theouter surface of the regualr window that the plexiglass covered. Then allow to dry & slide back in the one you removed, and re-install the 3 screws. DO NOT overtighten ~

Thank you, that is what I thought. Just don't want the seal to get ruined.

Wow, $95.00 for each quarter window seal.

There has to be a cheaper way to replace them.

They get easily scratched...I've used a plastic polish on them and they come up like new...I guess a cleaner wax would do the same trick...

Mike is correct, be carefull ~ they ARE easily scratched ! I would use Palmolive Green Dish washing detergent. It's the mildest stuff out there, and leaves a nice finish. Use plenty of water to get off the glossy finish. Wait 'til warm(er) weather - as the plexiglass pieces are BIG and you'll need working room. BTW, I put your car on the registry. I got your e-mail but could not reply ... My computer is all F'd up and I am awaiting 'Puter Doctor to come to my house & see if this is fixable. It crashed & I lost good stuff.
