My car is going in to be resprayed in July & what I wanted to know is, can the window weather strip be reused or once they are off you need new ones as on 3 of the doors there are a few bubbles underneath them.

The front windscreen it's needing replaced as is milky along the A pillar & a bit of rust on the leading edge of the roof so the screen will be taken out so any idea where I can get a new screen seal inner & outer rubber

the main screen seal comes out of a tube

can the window weather strip be reused

yes they can if removed very carefully   they are quite a pig to remove and bend very easily 
best way is to put window fully down and remove door card and then prise the clips off gentley with a large flat screwdriver

Maybe i didn't phrase it right, I know it's bonded in with black sealant, but there is what I assumed was a part seal round the inside of the screen that then the outside rubber weather seal fits into that as I will need the inner just in case it's damaged on removal of the screen & would like a new outer rubber as well.

Great I've got some doors off of a 2002 to pick up so I'll try that on them
