On s14's , is there any weatherstripping/sealer etc on the side tail pieces? When it rains or i wash my car i know a lil water seeps in from around the tails, i checked on courtesy nissan and they show a "sealer - rear combination lamp" but is it somthing i can just buy an an auto store and not an actual peice of weatherstripping which is formed to the lights? i know this is pretty random, but its been bugging me lately haha thanks in advance!

The product most similar to the original Nissan stuff is 3M Strip Caulk.

Here is a description. Not sure if you should order it from here or see if a local auto parts store has it:

Its called Butyl rubber tape. Buy the shit at NISSAN, mush it into the taillight seams and be done with.

^ what he said. Heat it up to get it malleable and apply it to where the taillight housings meet the body. it's sticky as shit, so it's easier to handle with your hands wet with a little dish soap on them.

actually, its easier to handle WHEN COLD.

Much more friendly when around 60-70F

Yeah we have this stuff we sell, comes in strips. It is messy to work with at times but as Mike said, its easier handled when cold.
