Default a-pillar swappers...what do you do about the weatherstripping?

what do you guys do about the weatherstripping on the edge of them. pull it off and glue it to the new ones? leave it off? replace it w/something else? also...the rubber @ the side of the windshield?

The ones on each side of the windshield are the A pillars.

The B pillars are the black ones between the side windows and rear quarter windows.


IIRC, no glue is needed for the pillars.

I replaced mine with CF A-Pillars, and I had to get another type of weatherstripping and do it. The stripping that comes on it already is from the factory it's not something that you can buy separate.

The stripping over the door are you talking about the stuff that's inside window itself, it's about 1" wide? and goes all the way down to about the gauge cluster height? That I know you can order. If you don't want to just be careful not to rip it out, and you can reuse it just fine.

the rubber @ the "A" location is what i'm asking about....and the "B" location rubber is in pretty rough shape and i would like to replace it but Nissan only sells the rubber already installed (glued) on the piece and it comes pre-painted. my car is not PPW.

finally, someone knows what i'm talkin' about lol...yes the little rubber that's on the factory a-pillar. so what did you use? something from home depot or something and just get it sealed the best you could? thanks.
