Exclamation What a nightmare

I finally got the seal to my window fixed, ya know the infamous seal that rusts on 95 percent of Fcs out there, it started rusting about a year ago so i cut all the paint off and sanded it, and then i had to take my car to the garrage to get my heater fixed, so anyway it sat there for a week in the snow and rusted again so i took it home and sanded it again and my car sat there for about another week before i got the paint to fix it but before i could paint it, i had to go out to get some food or something and it snowed and stupid me, not even thinkin of it parked it in my garrage with the snow still on it and it rusted again, finally fed with driving around with a compleatly rusted seal and my mirror hangin off kuz i never put the bolts in it, i fixed my mirror and seal yesterday, so to anyone doin this project, do it as soon as possible and save you self alot of troble. anyways i found out how to fix the seal off of rx7club.com forums. so thanks rx7club, later guys.

Errrr...why is it rusting if you painted it? I painted mine and they haven't rusted in the 4.5 years I've owned the car.

I used "Rustoleum" semi flat black. (not too shinny, not too flat)

Pop them off, trim off the loose plastic, wire brush, paint, snap them back on.

It also looks good/ lasts a long time on wiper arms.
