Hello everyone. I've been lurking this forum for awhile. Great info and community!

I have a '01 4Runner Limited and the weatherstripping on the drivers side has torn pretty badly. This is the wife's rig and she likes things "just so" so its gotta be replaced!

Question is ... how difficult is this to replace? Would I save myself money/time/aggrevation by simply having the dealer do the repair? Or is this a pretty straight forward and easy DYI.

Thanks for any input.

Mine is torn on my '99, but it's still serviceable. It's probably fairly easy to replace, but expensive from the dealer. Try calling a online Toy parts place to get it, then try your hand at replacing it. Worst-case scenario, take the parts to the dealer and have them replace it.

What's the best thing to use on your weatherstripping for conditioning? You know, so the door does not stick to it or so it does not disintegrate over time.

Silicone spray lubricant. It works wonders and should be applied at least once a month especially during the colder months of the year.

I have heard vaseline on a towel applied very thin is also good. Any1 else hear that? I'd think it would hold dirt and all.

Mkay, so who's the recommended website to get Toyota parts?

And, through blind luck, would anyone happen to have the part number for the driver side front door stripping?

Thanks!
