Hi all,

I'm really struggling on my restoration as I cannot find any replacement weather strips for my 1994 4th gen. Has anyone ever developed a way to repair them or found an alternative that fits please. It's one of the few things I have left to complete and they really do let the car down.

Cheers

Rich

dont think there are any aftermarket or alternatives or any way to repair them easily
only trim that i know can be improved is rubber trim on rear quarters that can be cleaned up using soft cloth and a little bit of autosol
4th gen front windscreen trim can be replaced with new part from Rejel but its listed as a 5th gen - tight fit but some have done it.
All other trim is Honda only - used or new if you can find it - Lings had the window trims available last year but now listed as discontinued,
You can i think still get the rear boot seal that goes along the bottom of the rear windscreen but thats about it. :(
1996-2000 1993 EG9 Blue Civic 1.6 Vti - Traded in against the BB4
2000-2019 1994 2WS BB4 Milano Red JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD

2015 on > 1991 4WS BB1 Phantom Pearl Grey JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD
2021 ON > 1998 2WS BB6 White Pearl JDM Prelude Si VTEC

I have the 5th gen windscreen trim on my 4th, it's a nice fit.

Just checked the rejel website, they don't seem to stock any 4th or 5th gen prelude bits anymore. :(

Do the 5th gen weather strips for the doors fit the 4th gen? Anyone tried?

Thanks for the replies, I'll try and check to see if a gen 5 fits.

I know on the official parts logs they are different part numbers.
