Anyone replaced the rubber window wiping strip?

Or whatever it's called...
The bit along the top of the door skin.
Getting pissed off with no clearing of the glass when lowering & raising the window.
Would a new strip do it, easy to fit, expensive?

Cheers.

Roll down your window, then the rubber weather strip just  lifts out.

Fastened in place. Can be damaged,bent easily. Skin off  fastening clips are snapped easily so get some spares

Cheers will get some new clips then too.
Any idea how much the strips cost?
