Ion

  • Manual transmission

Back driver's side window seals have separated and curled up away from the window. Makes rolling the window up or down quite an ordeal.

I have had 3 saturn Ion's. I love my car, but this is the only year I have had that the trim on drivers's side and passanger side are almost curling away from window. It makes ride noisy, and difficult to roll upl

window sealing strips warp

I had previously replaced the sealing strips on the back windows, then the front ones started warping as well. I have seen this on other Ions as well. May only be a problem in high temperature areas, as I am from Florida.

Cost me $54.81, which was the glass shops cost because we share a building with them. Also installed for free. Expect to pay markup with possible installation for this if you don't want water in your doors or your car to just genuinely look crappy.
