Is the rear hatch weatherstripping replace a DIY job?


Recommended Posts

The weatherstripping came off a few years ago on my 2006 RX400h's rear hatch door.  (Moving big items in and out rubs against it, it's inevitable it seems if you use it for cargo!)

I got away with a few years of using the black goo glue to put it back in place, but now it's in tatters and stretched and it's done.  I need to replace it.  The hinge for the hatch door seems to stop the new weatherstripping from going on easily - does anyone know if this is a DIY job?  Thanks for your help.

The parts person at your dealership can show you (and maybe print out) an exploded view of that assembly. Some online dealership websites contain the same thing, but with lower resolution images.

3M makes an adhesive called 847. It is specifically for bonding rubber/gaskets to a variety of materials. It is also fuel and oil resistant. It comes in a 5 oz tube (brown in color).
