How to replace window molding?

92 Camaro RS

When I put the windows up the glass does not line up with the rubber molding. I hear loud wind blow thru the car when driving and I took the car thru the car wash today and it was like Niagara falls coming in.

Is it possible to remove the old rubber window molding and replace it? Where can I buy the new molding?

From what I gather it sounds like your weather stripping is bad and/or non-existent. There are numerous places that sell weather stripping for our cars. Just do a quick google search and plenty will come up.

I think he's referring to the seal around the door glass.
Sounds like you need to adjust the window.
Lots of good threads on this recently.
You will need to remove the door card and adjust the tracks.
Here's the tech guide:
