Hello, I've noticed that I have a very small, yet annoying leak coming from my door when it's raining fairly hard. Upon inspection, I believe the problem to be the weather stripping on top of the door. People put their hands on it when they close the door, and it has been worn off about halfway down on BOTH the driver and passenger doors. 2000 Monte Carlo SS

I found this picture on the forums, it is not mine:



This is not exactly what mine looks like, but that is exactly the part that I am talking about. I cannot seem to find it on gmpartsdirect and the dealer could not locate it over the phone...

Any help?

 

W69 WEATHERSTRIPS;. Fits: Impala, Lumina , Monte Carlo | Nalley Buick GMC Brunswick

there is a phone number on there to call also to make sure you are getting what you want / need.

you did not specify the year of your monte so i just looked up my own year for you.
hope this helps

 

I think this is the part you need I got mine from junkyard for $2
you should check with parts dept. part #1 in the pic.

nice find zjerry.

 

Hmm, these are about $100 combined from gmpartsdirect, but I cannot find an illustration to prove that they are in fact the right parts.

However, maybe I should take a look around the local junkyards first and see what I can find...I assume that they are the same for all 6th gen montes? How did you remove them exactly? (I think they'll pop out with a screwdriver maybe?)

Thanks!!

 

IT should be part #1 in pic ..it's held on with riviots..

 

Im having the same problem with both of my doors... I have to rush home when it rains and park in the garage so the inside of my car wont get wet. I first noticed it when I went through a car wash :/ i got so soaked that I had to go back home and change out of a new outfit into some of my old clothes

 

I just replaced my drivers door. There are six rivots. and a screw. Run the window all the way down then pull the felt window seal off the top of the window frame. This will expose 5 of the six rivots. Next the door panel will have to come off also. Remove the arm rest should be 3 or 4 screws. Once they are removed there are clips holding the window switches in place. work them loose carefully. The power door lock switch can be removed by disconnecting the electrical connector. A tool which I forgot the name will wedge in between the door panel and the door frame. You will have to feel your way around the door prying carefully each holder out of the door frame. I cannot stress do not force anything. These panels are plastic and the door panel is a type of corrugated paper. Once the door panel is off the side view mirror has to be removed to expose the sixth rivot. There are 2 bolts and a electrical connector. the rivot heads have to be drilled until you cal knock the rivot into the door frame. They will eventually fall to the bottom of the door.
It is a very labor intensive job. Do not attempt if you do not have all the tools.

 

Thanks for the help guys! I am going to see what I can do about it

 

Damn,

Six rivots, a screw, the door panel will have to come off, the side view mirror has to be removed.

Could you just move someplace where it doesn't rain much?

Seriously though, excellent write up my 2xMonte. Always great advice and helpful members on this site.

Zjerry's $2.00 junkyard purchase is a good idea - and another benefit of the junkyard is that you learn how to disasemble the door (and make mistakes) on a junkyard car, not your own.
