where can i buy rubber seals for the doors???

[driftfreek]

hey 240 owners, i need rubber seals for both doors, moonroof and hatch door soon because when i drive in the freeway my car whistles through every door. its annoying!!! i asked the nissan dealer for info about pricing and they want to charge me $1000 dollars for all of the seals. so much money for stupid rubbers wtf! does anybody know where can i buy these cheaper?
i'd appreciate any replies.

since these cars are soo old, I dont think anyone would carry them or aftermarkets ones, best bet would be at the junk yard since people normally dont take these pieces. I got my door seal from a 240 at the junkyard this 240 was ripped in pieces.

[projectRDM]

They're more than just 'stupid' rubber, hence the pricing. No aftermarket supplier offers OE seals/gaskets for the 240 or any other mid80s+ car, there's no demand for it. Buy OE or find it used.

Pick-a-part parking lots... They have all kinds of different stands...Try that... The one here in monrovia has a couple seal stands they also have a windshield stand..

[Grendel]

Yea my car whistles like crazy too. I have no idea where you can buy new trim :(

You can shut the sunroof whistle up by kind of half latching the latch... if that makes any sense. Like I close the sunroof, then pull the latch so it is like half shut/half open... pulls the window closed a little tighter. I know its not a permanent fix, but it works...

[BoostedCoupe]

Like everyone said no one makes aftermarket oe style seals. you can either go used or nissan. Nissan is high, but they are brand new.

How much did it end up costing?

[bo2o]

just bend and re align the bracket. mine shuts tight but doesnt stay open........ i need a new sun roof also but atleast it doesnt whistle

or crack your windows and it will stop. or close your vents.
and in your trunk theres a vent on the sides tear out the rubber flap. it will help relieve pressure in your car.

The door seals can only be found at the dealer or used. The hatch seal can be made from some kind of universal trunk seal material. The sunroof seal I am not sure about as I have never really looked at a sunroof seal on a 240 before, but I would assume it is also dealer or used only. I know the prices suck but your choices are either buy some used seals that will almost certainly leak and probably be just as bad as your seals in a year or less, or pony up for the new dealer seals that will last a minimum of 10 years before you have problems. The hatch seal is the only one that I would try to get some universal shit to work on. Also try to adjust the doors, hatch, and sunroof so that they seal tighter. The doors and hatch are designed to be adjustable and I'm sure that the sunroof can be adjusted somehow too.

what can you do about the seals around the side and rear glass on a coupe?

QFT...

The doors are about $120/pair and the windows about $150/pr for a S14...if you need the thing the mirror mounts too that's another $220/pr...the outer wiper/door edge thing is about $160/pr.

The trunk is really universal...dealer wants too much for it.

If you haven't adjusted anything yet, you can usually do so and be fine. Only now are my S14 windows leaking a little bit.

[SlideWaysSilvia]

best thing to do is got to a glass repair shop or to a body shop they usually give good deals on the parts and they can install them as well
I just recently changed all my rubber on my car at a glass shop and it was around 500

[fromxtor]

courtesyparts.com $65 a door

[alkemyst]

courtesyparts.com $65 a door

Courtesy is going to be high....thats $130 and you only get the door seals, most people have problems with the window seal.

[fromxtor]

Thats not as high as they could be, I've priced some stuff at the stealership and been like WTF? SOHC valve cover bolts are like $8 a pop.

Can someone that works at a nissan dealership chime in. I called in and got a 300 a door qoute.

[zoototheyork]

group buy for door seals and what not? i need em bad

[slider2828]

Yah 300 is about right. I got quoted about 150 bux a door. That is BS!!! Oh wellz...

[GoodOl'S13]

No, I was told 300 a door

[projectRDM]

It's not that hard. Go to Courtesy's site, you'll see their price. Take at least an additional 15-20% off that number by buying locally using an account.

Funny how some people still believe the dealer down the street's price is the only price available. Sure, you can pay $300, but why would you when you can get it for less?

[slider2828]

Nah you can check different places, but around 150 is the going price. Check courtesy, but I think about the same.

just hit up www.parts.com ...they will show you the list price. List is what most dealerships charge.

I like www.nissan-auto-parts-dealer.com / Woodsmen Nissan.
