okay so i have like no money at all (kinda) and the windows are starting to leak and let water in. is there any cheap fix i can do to the weather stripping to stop it from leaking? anything at all could help. thanks!

is the weather stipping still in place, if not you can glue it back, or if it is in place you could probably use electrical tape and wrap it around the stripping then glue it back in place Thats about all I can think of, unless you go to a local you pull it yard and find an e36 there. Call around.

Why not just run a bead of silicone caulking around it until you can replace it. You may be able to find some in black.

thats what i was originally thinking of doing but im not sure if it would have any bad effects. would it?

It should peel right off. It's very rubbery.

hmm. true.

ahh i figured it out. the dumbass who first had it wrecked it and took the door from a convertible and put it on there. so the window doesnt line up very well.
