[music] To replace this rubber seal, we have to remove from this side this triangle and door handle. And also from this side we have to remove mirror with all this plastic. So let's go. So T20 will be enough for this one. And that is only only screw that is holding this triangle. After that, you simply push it upward just like that. And that's it. For door handle, I'm using [music] Torx T25. And that's it. Simply pull upward door handle. And as you can see, here is the end of this rubber seal. Then you simply move it by pushing your fingers inside here. You can see what happened. It was glued. I hope I will be able to remove the rest. Or maybe not. Oh, this is disaster. Okay, let me put phone down and I will start from this side and then I will come to this. So here we have even smaller screws. In my case, this is T5. The lower one was loosed. So I have combination, but I believe you have both. like this one T15. So, let's remove this one and let's check what is behind. Now, when we have both screws out, you just push by fingers upward cuz you have these clips [snorts] and like rail that is following this gap here. Okay, here is some cat fight. Doesn't matter. So, I will not uh uncip this um plug. I will just uh unscrew little bit mirror and then we can take off the rest of this seal. [music] In my case, it's T20. And you can immediately see how mirror is getting loosed on this side. I have this screw which is little bit different cuz I replace that one. But let's remove and I will show you [music] the rest. When we have both screws out, you can simp simply pull this rubber by help of mirror. Don't go too crazy cuz you can ruin the top from this side. And now let me show you. As you can see, we lift it up and we can [music] take out this part from this side. So this is the best way. It's completely glued here. Okay. And it's out. Also, what I noticed that this gap is too here is too big, which means the clip is not inside. I don't know if you can see but here is first clip second one and you can maybe see

you you can see that need to be just across this one as well this one try to clean this up I don't know how this is super glue try and Then [music] I'm going to put another one is a product from Sonax. I don't know if going to work, but that's the only one that I have. I will [music] keep it for a few minutes to dissolve this one and try to use the rug and remove it. I don't want to scratch it cuz it will take the paint as well. I succeed to find brand new part. This is a part number. I believe this is not anymore in production. It's around 60. >> Wow. >> I also put back this door panel. So, it was basically out. Don't know if I can show you now, but you see this. You have clips like this and they [music] need to make click once you put them back inside and to have equal gap from forward all the way to back. Otherwise, [snorts] you will have water coming inside down the motor. Here is the new one. It's matte color. If I compare to original can see and you can see where damage occurred just at at the beginning and from the profile looks like this. So now we will start from forward just like this and push with the hands all the way down. until it's fully placed. Just like that. This is the As you can see here is the limit. So, we will push it. I don't want to break this one. And let's slowly push by hands inside until it's fully in place. I believe I will replace this panel at the end because it's also I don't know if you can see from the side but it has some dents. So I I need blue one in good condition. It is completed. So basically I was pulling this way and just like this and it got inside. It's much easier if you lower the window of course. Now I will try to lift the window. So far no issues. We have final product. As you can see, it's going all the way. Touching window. Fitting great. No more cracks. Job done. Let's move to the next one. And this is the final product.
