Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove the outer window sweeps. These are commonly cracked on this '82 to '92 Camaros and Firebirds. They fit a lot of different vehicles. It's a pretty straightforward thing to disassemble. You need to take the door panel off and the front window run channel as well as the triangle part that's on the front of the window.
Tools you'll need are T27 and T10 Torx drivers as well as medium and small sized flat blade screwdrivers, 7, 8 and 10 millimeter wrenches or sockets with ratchet, door panel clip tool or a putty knife, Phillips screwdriver. You may need a set of pliers and then plastic bags and a marker to mark the hardware after you take it apart. Also, before you do this, just disconnect your battery, disconnect the negative batter terminal just so you don't wear it on your battery because you have the door open for so long.
To start out, we're actually going to fast forward through removing the door panel. If you want to see this in regular speed, just check out our other videos for the Camaro Iroc-Z door panel removal video.
There are two Phillips screws to remove so you can pull back the top of the weather strip: here and right into here, you'll see the hole in the weather strip. You can remove the screw then you peel that back. I'll put the screw up here so I don't lose it. Pull your shield back. You need a 10 millimeter socket, ratchet with extension. There's two 10 millimeter bolts here to remove. We'll just speed it up here as we remove those two 10 millimeter nuts. They're on the top of a little bracket that's attached to that triangle seal and the front window channel. Once you remove those two 10 millimeter nuts, there's two 10 millimeter bolts here to remove. Let's twist it correctly here. This must go first. Let's get those out.
To get this outer window sweep off, you can see ours needs replacing . it's all cracked, -- there's a series of bolts. You can see a couple hiding in behind the window. What you'll want to do, is take and loosen these window guides and then push the window in. You should be able to get a wrench on there. It looks the ones have already been taken off. These bolts are 10 millimeter. I'm just going to speed up as I remove those two window guide bolts. Then I put the bolts back in the door so I know where they are. A 7 millimeter wrench. I used a 7 millimeter wrench and as well as a socket and ratchet with extension for the bolts that I can get to easily. You'll notice that the triangle seal is back on or the triangle part in the front is back on because I kind of did shoot this out of order. I removed these bolts and then realized that there still was that bolt hiding in behind that triangle seal so I had to take it out but if you take it out, if you take that triangle seal and front window channel out first, that's the correct order.
There's the 7 millimeter bolts right in behind where that triangle seal was. I'll fast forward through removing that and then pick it up, take it off the strip. That screw's out and the outer sweep comes right off.
Now, this clip is from later after I've taken more stuff out apart. Basically, I just want to show you that when you take things apart especially in this case with this car, we're going to take it all apart and then get it painted, I do things, I took the mirror off and then I put the nuts back on so I can find them. I put the bolts back into the track, that little triangle pieces on and put things back together. Then I took little bags and clearly marked them as far as maybe the door panel hardware or some of the window hardware and things like that. Then like that little door handle bezel that you can see underneath my hand there, all in black. I reassembled that with the switches and stuff. Just put things back together so that when you're ready to put the car back together, you can find all the bolts and nuts and everything. It makes it a whole lot easier when you're going to put the car back together.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove the inside door sweep (or door weather strip/window weather strip). It's attached to the black molding that's on top of the door panel. Most of the time those black moldings break. Both of them, on both sides of this vehicle, are broken up near the mirror. We'll show you how to remove that. You will basically remove it with the door panel, and then separate it from the door panel. The tools you'll need for this include T27 and T10 Torx drivers, medium and small flat blade screwdrivers, 7mm, 8mm, and 10mm wrenches or sockets with a ratchet, Door panel clip tool or a putty knife, a Phillips screwdriver, pliers, plastic bags, and a marker.
On this, what you'll want to do first is disconnect your negative battery cable. That will protect your car from the battery draining down.To remove a door panel, you want to start with three T27 Torx screws. One is right in the door pull there, and then two are underneath. One there, and one back here. Then there are two T10 Torx screws here. A lot of these are fake, but there are two here, and then two here.
Okay, I'm just going to fast-forward as I remove those three T27 screws. Then there are six T10 screws, and this car is fairly original, but on a lot of these cars they've probably been taken apart and put together before, and with different fasteners used, so the tools you may need for your car could vary. Once those are out, then you pull your lock button back, and now use a screwdriver and push it in there and pry up. You want these little tabs, and you want to pull back at the same time as well. Once you get that disconnected, then there's another T10 Torx screw here. You're going to want to take your mirror and remote control out.
All right, I've got the small screwdriver, and poke this little retaining clip, pop that up and out and put it back in. Keep it in a safe place. Then take your screwdriver again and carefully find behind your lock, and then it'll off. It's just clipped in there, and now just slide this out, and then forward it off, and this little trim panel also comes off so you don't lose it.
The exterior door panel is held in by clips around the edge, and if you want to reuse your door panels, you want to do this as carefully possible. So I'm using a putty knife and I'm dragging it behind until it stops. I find the clip as they're pretty much evenly spaced. Now, normally this molding up here is pinched or riveted on to the door panel. This vehicle, it looks like somebody has already probably ripped this apart and not done it carefully, but normally what you would do is remove all these pins, and then this is just going to fall off, so I'm just going to take it off.
So, this is if your door is not on correctly, but normally you would take the whole panel, pull it out, and then lift up on this molding here, and take the whole door panel and molding off at the same time, and again, like I said, the door panel is supposed to be attached on here, but somebody had already ripped this off.
Now, this clip is from later after I had taken more stuff apart, but it basically I just wanted to show you that when you take things apart, especially in this case, where this car we're going to take all apart and then get it painted, I do things, like I took the mirror off, and then I put the nuts back on so I can find them. I put the bolts back into the track, put the little triangle pieces on, and then put things back together. I took little bags and clearly marked them as far as maybe the door panel hardware, or some of the window hardware, and things like that. Then, like the little door handle bezel that you can see underneath my hand there, all in black, I reassembled that with the switches and stuff. Just put things back together so that when you're ready to put the car back together, you can find all the bolts, and nuts, and everything, and it makes it a whole lot easier when you go to put the car back together.
So, as you can see again, our upper plastic panel with the weather strip on it was just kind of ripped away from this door, but if you did have an intact door, and you were trying to get it apart, needle nosed pliers are probably the best, and you want to just kind of pull these nuts and spin them counterclockwise, and hopefully you can get them off.
If you're replacing the whole plastic molding and weather strip, you don't have to worry too much about breaking. They generally just break right off, so basically, if you're taking this apart, most likely you're just going to break it, and you're going to need to buy new ones. If you're very careful, I haven't been able to do it yet, but probably if you're very careful, you can probably get these off, without breaking those.
I'm going to speed it up here as I remove the rest of those, and I can tell you, I tried to be very careful, but those things ended up breaking most of the time. If you're replacing a door panel, I would plan on replacing that plastic molding and the weather strip, as well. Just pull the plastic tabs out of these speed nuts, and put them in the door panel hardware bag.
