Weather strip?
Nope, the gasket which cases the window when rolled up, to close.

Kids used CD player slot as a pushka for all the change...

I would have to remove all the trims, pull out the radio and shake it I guess..

What do I need to know about radio code?

Be glad they didn't use the cigarette lighter as a pushke, I know someone who's kid put a penny in there and it somehow shorted the whole car.
I'm not who you think I am.

They should thank their child then. Something is wrong with the car if it didn't just blow the fuse.

with Honda even if the battery will die and you will technically "have to" put back the code, they have on some model the ability that when you press for a few sec on the on/off it will connect without a code, in the case that it's the original radio etc .. so its look like what happen to you. :)

My 2009 Sienna battery will randomly die. No lights are left on. Even when dead, lights turn on and off. I boost it and I’m fine but then it dies again, sometimes after a week sometime a couple of weeks.

I don’t just want to replace the battery if that’s not to root cause.

Any ideas?

Get the battery tested. Plenty of places will do it free. There’s no ambiguity. Either it will pass the load test or it will need replacement. You can check the terminals for corrosion. Sometimes that can be the issue.

If it is the original battery just go ahead and replace it then go from there.

Don't agree, if the battery is not the problem why waste time and money, he should try above steps before replacing battery.
 Either alternator or leaving plugs in their sockets or a weak battery.
 Test the battery and then go from there.
