How to Replace Front Outer Window Sweep 1992-2000 Chevy Tahoe

Okay, friends. To get started on our outside window sweep, we wanna have the window down so we can access it. Something that you're gonna notice is that it runs underneath your outside mirror, so what we're gonna need to do is get on the inside here and start loosening up some nuts. Before we can get to that, we need to remove this trim piece right here. Should just pop right off. Now, let's just grab onto this, pull it out of here. So, now with that removed, you can see that there's gonna be three mounting nuts. Well, what we wanna do right now is just loosen up the mirror. So let's go ahead and loosen up all three of those. The mirror nice and loose, you can see that we're gonna be able to get our window sweep under there. We need to continue on with a tool that looks like this, and that's gonna pull the window sweep up and off of here. I'm gonna start off on the far end. Just grab onto it, lift it up, and out of here. There it is. We'll recycle that.

Now, it's gonna be time to get our brand new window sweep in here. Let's go ahead and pull that away from the door. Slide this right in there. Push it as far as I can. At this point, you wanna make sure that you're gonna line up with the edge of the door. If you don't, you need to just continue pushing. This is looking pretty good. So now, I'm just gonna push this down. As you can tell, it's coming right past where it needs to be. At this point, you might notice that it's a little hard to push down. If you just use a rubber mallet, you can help it along. Straight all the way across. Now, let's put up the window.

The glass a little bit. As you can tell, it's touching all the way across. This looks perfect. Up those nuts. All right. Now, it's gonna be time to get this foam piece back in there. Go ahead and squish it down, pack it in there.

Now, it's gonna be time to install our last trim piece here. You're gonna notice you have these little flippies that are gonna on the inside of the door panel, and then you have the outer edge that goes along the outer portion. Let's go ahead and slide it down on there. Now, I'm gonna grab onto this door panel, I'm gonna gently pull it away, and then, from the backside here, I'm just gonna help the little piton down into its hole. Then put it in.
