This stuff seals up the space between the roof and the body of your car, basically keeping the elements out. It stops water, wind, dust, and even some noise from getting inside. It’s a flexible piece of rubber or plastic, designed to compress when the roof panel is closed, creating that tight seal. Some pieces also have a little bit of give to them to handle vibrations while you’re driving. Think of it as the first line of defense against weather. It’s a crucial part of making sure the interior of your car stays dry and comfortable. It’s not something you usually see working, it just…does. It goes around the perimeter of where the roof panel meets the car, filling in any gaps. It also helps keep the car’s structure a little more solid, minimizing rattles and squeaks. You’ll notice if your weatherstripping goes bad. You’ll probably first hear increased wind noise while driving, or maybe see water leaking in when it rains. Even just a little crack or tear can let moisture build up, leading to rust or mildew inside your vehicle. Beyond that, a good seal helps with climate control; if air is leaking in, your AC or heater has to work harder. It's a pretty simple part, but it makes a big difference to your overall driving experience. You can find replacements pretty easily—we have a good selection at Fixparts Online, if you’re interested—and it’s usually a pretty straightforward DIY job.
