Q. about temp and door weather strip

Ok i just had a quick q that i really cant find too much info on.
1. Lately my car seems to run hotter then norm. It used to run around 180-185ish around the first line. Now it can go half way up the guage. I have a new radiator, electric pump, system has been bleed and has a 50/50 mix, bottle of water wetter,and pressure tested fine, no trash in front of the rad. , fans running fine it seems. Temp is about 40 around here now.

Now since it used to run around the first line i have changed from a hypertech to a custom tune from pcmforless and added ground effects and a rk sport air dam which is much bigger then stock and now it seems like it would get more air. Bryan setup the temps to run colder then the hypertech he said so that should be good. Any ideas what could be the cause? Recently it is actually running warmer since the low coolant sensor broke when my battery accidently smashed it but its replaced now. Ugh its such a pain with this car lol

2. Just wanted to know how the hell to get off the window rubber on the outside of the door? and also the triangle behind the glass near the door.

Thanks in advance!

The windowsill rubber pulls off(up) it has a nifty(crappy) clip mechanism holding it in.

Should be. Replace the window adjuster/stabilizers while your in there. They're cheap.

I think he's talking about the black plastic triangle sail panels, which have a weatherstrip looking piece on the bottom of them. AFAIK, they just stick on.

Yeah the rear ones... i already have taken the others apart. So the rear ones are like just double sided taped on or something ? No screws on the inside or anything? just pry em off and buy new ones or something? Hmm sounds interesting .....
