[ol]Open the rear side door window.
Remove the rear side door window weatherstrip.
Start the at butt joint and pull the weatherstrip from the window opening
Install the rear side door weatherstrip.
Locate the butt joint at the bottom center of the window opening and set the weatherstrip around the window opening

what about the stripping around the door itself...it's not on the door...it's the black strip around the door....just pull up and re stick new ones?

Same idea.
[ol]Remove the door opening weatherstrip from the door opening.
Gently pull the weatherstrip from the pinch weld flange.
[ol]Install the door opening weatherstrip to the door opening.
Position the pre-formed corner of the weatherstrip in the upper rear corner of the door opening.
Push the weatherstrip onto the pinch weld flange.
Start at the pre-formed corner and work around the entire edge of the door opening.[/ol][/ol]

I know I asked this before, but I can't find the post. If I replace the weatherseal around the window, would that eliminate that annoying chirping noise while I'm driving. It only does it in cold weather though which is weird.

davtak, are the seals hard? I would try applying a silicone rubber grease to try to soften and revitalize the rubber before replacing the seal.
There are also silicone sprays to keep the rubber soft.

I'll check. If they are, I'll give it a shot. Oh, and I found the post, and no it's not your pet budgie!

Pretty simple(for a '85) don't know about your year but should be the same just take your time.
