How to Install Weatherstripping on a Jeep Cherokee

How to Install Weatherstripping on a Jeep Cherokee

You can install weatherstripping on your Jeep Cherokee in your garage with a few supplies that can be purchased at an auto parts store. Replacing the weatherstripping on a Jeep Cherokee improves the seal formed between the door frame and the closed vehicle door. Weatherstripping prevents air and moisture from entering the Jeep and ruining the interior. You will know its time to install new weatherstripping when the old weatherstripping becomes cracked, loses its shape and wont seal the door properly.

Instructions

    1

    Find the clips that secure the weatherstripping to the Jeep. Remove them with needle-nose pliers. Place the clips in a cup and set aside.

    2

    Pull the old weatherstripping off of the Jeep with your hands. Each piece of weatherstripping will slide right off the door frame channel.

    3

    Wipe degrease agent with a rag onto the door frame weatherstripping channel. This will remove all the grease and dirt.

    4

    Slide new weatherstripping onto the channel on the door frame.

    5

    Reattach the clips to the weatherstripping, pushing them over the top of the stripping and attaching them to the Jeeps door frame. You will hear them snap into place when properly attached.
