Ya know those little white clips that hold the door jamb weatherstrip to the doors? Well, while I was replacing one of my doors weatherstrip (it was torn from being frozen to the jamb last winter), I broke nearly every single clip.
So I found that most of the Subaru parts sites charge about $1.50-$2.00 PER CLIP. That's before shipping. So I would be paying $40 easy to replace them all.
Ha, awesome find! Thanks! I'm making a note of this
I have the exact opposite problem.... my clips are all fine but the weatherstripping on all 4 of my doors (esp. the rear doors) is just flopping around and won't stay clipped as the rubber is ripped where it should fasten in just about every case.
I need to find a good source for the replacement strips. Where did you get yours and what did they cost ya?
I was lucky and found a very low mileage 1991 Legacy wagon (same color as mine, even) in the local junkyard. I pulled nearly all of the weatherstrip off the car for like $25 and put it on my car. Nearly perfect condition.
Pull-and-save in Spokane, WA has like 13 BC/BF Legacies on the yard at any given time.
But I bet you'll spend $4-500 on weatherstrip for all four doors if you bought new.
All new weather stripping would be superb. Under the hood too. Mine under the hood is torn where those clips go and comes loose all the time.
