I got a 92 Civic Si.

I dont know the exact name i think its the door seals, but anyway its the between the outside of your door and your window.

Mine is faded and cracked. I went to a honda wrecker but they told me that theirs is the same. Im sure others have had this problem just wondering what ppl did about it. Paint it? New part? If so how much did this cost?

I got a early 94 Civic and my door seal thing is still black. The harsh elements are no good for the car. I always try to park undercover. Maybe you can paint it with black paint?
