The price is why people have gone with weatherstripping from the Kia Sportage at the junk yard. This has been discussed on this site. I bought mine a few weeks back for $16.00 and they are great.

I am not sure what piece of weatherstrip is need to go here ?

If you are talking about the strip on the window trim, that should be part of the quarter window seals. There is a blowup of the quarter windows in Wickes book. Shows exactly how to take them apart and put them back together.

Yep, I have KIA on both doors and hatch. Perfect seal, doors and hatch close very easily, great panel fit and stockish look. Could not be happier.

Johnny'O, sorry i have not heard of Wickes book. Is this avaliabe for public viewing or something i have to purchase.

At risk of asking about something that seems like it has been covered many times, I cannot find answers to following questions:

1) WS from a Kia Sportage fits side doors well. Do I need to specify WS from a Sportage 2d?

2) does the Sportage WS also fit rear hatch?

3) Part #'s world be great.

This should help. The link to the thread I used to research the Kia weather stripping is here: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37308&highlight=kia+weather+strip

Here is a photo of the part number that I used to order mine and from what I could find it doesn't matter whether it is right or left side, both work for either side.

I have read that it also works great on the hatch as well.

One note though is that it may be hard to locate these new unless Kia has finally had a shipment from Korea show up in the states. Global Kia Parts told me I got the last two of four that they could find. Granted I don't know if they looked up both side door numbers or just the one I gave them.

I haven't had a chance to install mine yet. Every time I think I have a day coming up to do it, something else demands my time. Hopefully soon!

Any chance of some pics showing how you handled your 90° angle? I have read of different ways but never any visual to back up the written. I for one would greatly appreciate it! :classic:

Sorry for the delayed reply but I see Mike B hooked you up. I will be working on mine next week. Let me know if you want pictures of the process.

I have bid on the book, but in all my endeavors of working on old cars, in-progress pic's help the most. Yes pictures would be greatly appreciated :classic:
