Angry UT OH! not my baby!!

EDIT: This was covered under warranty for all who have this problem!


I just noticed this nice little present my car came with (picked it up sat....)
the bottom seal (idk what to even call this) is ripped!! Worst part is it is color matched.... TB.... any ideas what to even call this peice / where to get another / ease of isntall (aka can i do it.. without much trouble...) / price?
Goddamnit. I really dont want to see what the dealership's solution to it would be, and id prefer my car in my hands to be blunt.

Haha wow! My car is TB and I have the exact same problem on both sides... The part is like 80 bucks, it's ridiculous!

Also, I think it just snaps off... At least it looks like it does.. I might try to just super glue it or something, heh.

Looks like a lower seal or some sort of weatherstripping.

They don't cover it under warranty. It happens when the bottom of the door rubs a curb or your foot hits in. Mine have done it on both sides as well though. I just cut it off with a razor blade, doesn't look all that bad when you do , and buying new ones that will only do it again, isn't worth it.

I've thought about taking it off too...but it really helps to flush the door with the side skirts too...in other words, purely cosmetic. Also, it will help to keep from chipping that part of the lower door.
