As it says up top, i've tried a little searching but came up short of nothing. I need oem weather stripping that goes on the from windshield which is like 3 main pieces and i forgot how many are on the back on my s14. Anyone know any online sites? I tried courtesy, pinnacle and some other places but none got any. Anyone?

Just go to the Nissan dealership.
Weather stripping isn't expensive.

or you could go to HomeDepot for for some regular weather stripping. $3bucks for a roll 10' long, i think .5" or 1" wide.

It's funny you made this thread. Last december i got a new windshield along with a new "universal" weatherstrip. After i took off the tape, the corners lifted up so i could see inside. I took the car back and the installer worker guy said itll be ok and if there are problems to come back. Well after i got my paint job done the fucking weather strip came off totally cause of the recent hot days, this was last week. So i just took the car back yesterday and the guy was giving me shit, that the painter used a buffer and that why it come loose, and they said they messed with it when they painted the car. I told the guy hes a moron because if they messed with it why is there still paint on it? fucking idoit. Anyways after complaining the actual worker was the one who decided to fix it. i wish would of just got some weatherstrippping from the dealer.
I called the dealer the other day and the weatherstrip is only $85, in stock at stevens creek.

I thought of finding a cheaper substitute but it might have ended up how yours did bj. I was gonna end up at the dealership anyway but just thought i should try looking around.

Did you try calling Courtesy? They've drop shipped me parts that they didn't have in stock and have always been cheaper than Stevens Creek and Capitol Nissan. I can look at my parts list and give you the part numbers if you need them.

Dont use duct tape! Use 3M blue tape to help save your paint.

I've got all the part numbers but they're in the other room.
The windshield moulding is two pieces, left and right. Over time the corners pull away from the side pieces from the heat, OE they're bonded together. The problem is the mouldings snap into a retainer, most times when places pull the glass they ruin the retainer so they just glue the old moulding back in or use universal trim. Same with the rear glass, it's one piece around the top/sides and snaps into a retainer also, every time I've had glass replaced I buy the OE moulding and retainer so it's done right because if it's glued back in it will either pull up or be impossible to remove next time. All the door weatherstripping can be bought separately, and the quarter glass moulding is one piece to the window, it's not removable.
And price is cheap, the windshield mouldings and etainer are less than $90, rear glass is like $40.

ooops i mean i used some black tape , i forgot which kind, but i think you've seen it bj. SHIt i think it prolly fucked up the paint already in those certain spots that i have the paint. I've had this tape on for years so, im just gonna have to sit tight until i paint my car.
