How To Replace Window Run Channel, Jammed window due to hardened rubber

Bros, have anyone replaced their hardened rubber windows run channel? If you have, do you mind sharing with us on how to do it, if possible with some illustrations, as i would like to replace mine as it causing my windows to be jammed up even though after spraying silicon and rubber lubricants onto it....Many thanks

Seldom heard ppl change the C channel.

What u need to do b4 u applying any silicon lube, try to clean the c channel 1st. It is recommended to use silicon gel type rather than spray type.

remove the door panel.. and remove whatever in the way.... something like that...

After removing the old rubber run channel, how do we ensure it will adhere firmly to the metal door 'C' guide channel? Do you need glue it back?

i think jsut fit into it firmly.. thats it...

Your are right Bro , i've just bought a brand new run channel rubber for my car where its specifically made either for our left or right door and is not interchangeable....

i've yet to install it but according to the spare parts shop, it will fit snugly into the 'C' channel without much problem...finally, no longer need to spray regularly those lubricants which is such a chore....Thanks Bro Guan...

For those whom are driving cars that are parked under the hot sun for almost 10 years like mine , i would like to recommend them to change their rubber window run channel as they would have deteriorated by then...

i learnt this during last weekend when i change my rubber channel, it was breaking up near the side mirror & door lock knob....it must have been caused by spraying too much lubricants that caused the rubber to disintegrate...after that, my window now operates like a new car - hurray!!

this DIY work is not too hard...if you have replace your power window regulator before on your own, the task at hand is even more easy than that and only takes half the time compared to changing the regulator...good luck.

i wanted to do mine as the outside sound is getting inside quite clearly... on the left side... but my door already dynamatt-ed.. sigh...

Ah boy is right U need to spray silicon lubricant that is good against Water wash out , good rust preventive & innerd to to sunlight temp.

It'll protect the softness of the rubber .

my car is aredi 11 years old and not yet change the rubber i spray it once or twice a month.one can about Rm 35 will last for years.



With WD40 it will works but that will damage the (harden the rubber) cause Oil + Rubber chemical reaction..and WD-40 not good againt water wash out.

how much does it cost for the rubber? my driver side mirror also always jam when the window is winding up. and it can make some scary sound like my glass wanna break sometimes...

errr...alamak i've forgotten lah....if i'm not mistaken it is about RM30 for cap ayam...pls remember the channel is specifically made either for the left side or right ride...happy DIY'ing..

Just replaced mine. The rubber cost RM35.
Quite simple to diy -- drop the windows to the max, tilt it out a bit, pull out/replace the rubber, put back the windows into the run-channel, done.

Now my windows can wind up like new.

Want put new one or just clean it?
