Stripping on drivers side is all worn out & ripped. ---

I suggest that you have it replaced by the folks at a body shop. ---

I take it you are referring to the weather stripping on the door. For a new exact replacement, you will probably need to go to a dealer but it might not be available for a vehicle this old. You might be able to find it at a salvage yard. These pieces are usually not too difficult to replace. ---

And once you get the weatherstripping replaced I recommend using silicone spray on it prior to winter. The weatherstripping can freeze to the door frame and tear when you try to open the door. Additionally, ozone (i.e., a component of pollution) can degrade rubber compounds and a coating of silicone might help prevent it. ---

My Corolla hasn’t needed it in the nearly 10 years I’ve owned it, which leads me to believe the problem could be solved on the manufacturing end.
