It is pretty easy just have to remove the door panel and than patiently feed the seal into the inside window channel. Thank goodness the seal can be pushed downward into the channel and does not bind up.

Pretty easy install, although it does make things easier if you remove the inside door trim and speaker to help feed it down the channel on the inside of the door.
Now for the passenger side...
Just replaced both of mine this last week. Bought them both from Conicelli Partznet. Paid just under $108 for both driver and passenger side after free shipping and 10% coupon code.Mark wrote:aheminway wrote:FYI, I purchased a window run for the Matrix, part number 6815101051, front left side.

I bought the driver side run from the Toyota dealer here and the parts guy actually came out and installed it for me, said he knew "the trick". Don't know for sure what that was, but he sprayed it with some silicon and had it installed in less than 5 min.
Just thought i'd revive this and add a bit of information... I'm about to order left and right front from this place, as it seems to be the cheapest after a whole afternoon of shopping.SlammedNiss wrote: Just replaced both of mine this last week.

I also have a 2003 vibe AWD base, so i figured if it worked for him, then it would work for me, then figured out the passenger side from the TSB.aheminway wrote: FYI, I purchased a window run for the Matrix, part number 6815101051, front left side.

6 years later and it helped me! I ordered the Toyota parts you suggested, wound up costing around $150 after I shopped around a couple places (still at least $30 cheaper than the GM parts). Guess I should have done the replacement a decade and a half ago when it first became an issue, probably would have cost a lot less...
Curious what your seals look like currently? I have a bad drivers side seal also on my 2004 Vibe Gt but just living with the wind noise for now. Don't know how the seal got messed up in the first place (only owned the car for 3 years and came with this damage) . Post pics of yours if possible.

I only have the corner issue, not the one closer to the mirror, but my corner is quite bad and has been as long as I can remember (at least since 2008 or so, it’s an 04). It really does just whistle in my ear, which finally got a bit too annoying. Here’s a picture (sorry that it’s dark out):tpollauf wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 11:00 am
