What I mean is when its raining or fogging and you wanted to clear the windows for visibility does pulling your windows up and down clean them pretty good? or does the lining in the window can be replaced for improved performance?

Lol does anyone know what I'm talking about?

The little gasket isn't especially designed for cleaning; it's to keep big debris (like leaves) out of the door and to somewhat seal against the bottom edge of the window—or, more specifically, the carrier the window sits on.

Mine don't really squeegee the windows to any great extent. I'm sure it's a replaceable part, but I don't think replacing them would necessarily help you much.

I don't think they are designed to do what you want them to do.
Replacing isn't likely to change anything.

My Civic doesn't do it either. I wish they would wipe the glass when you roll it down and up, it would be real convenient.

My old Park Avenue did it.

None of our cars "clean" the side windows as much as they "smear" the dirt or water...

Listen to DrewE.
