Replacing the weather stripping on the rear door V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Wed Oct 26 14:27 CST 2011 [RELATED]

Hello All,

I have a white 1999 XC with a 130,000 miles. The original black plactic weather stripping that runs the length of the rear window in the rear door (hatch) is "bubbling up" due to rust inside the weather stripping itself.

Is this an easy fix in that you pull off the old weather stripping and just press into place (just underneath the rear window) the new weather stripping? Or should I spend the additional money and bring the car to an autobody shop and have it install the new weather stripping? The weather strip retails for about $41 from my local Volvo dealer.

Thank you in advance to all who reply.

Hugh
