Weatherstrip MK7.5 passenger door fitting guide?

Featured Replies

Has anyone done this, is it a simple means of pulling off the old and buying new?

Also what is the part number I should be looking for?

This is for passenger door window.

I believe this is the part I need? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Ford-Fiesta-MK7-N-S-Windscreen-Weatherstrip-Insert-Moulding-1746911-/393418805385?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0



If I remember correctly there is a Ford technical service builtin regarding this issue. It involves cutting through some of the steel wire reinforcement at several point on the new weather strip.

See the post below this for TSB details
