Unfortunately replacing the fuzzy trim is not a quick job like the rest of the weather stripping. The fuzzy window trim is actually a metal strip with a ribbon of fuzzy material contained within it to make an assembly.This was then stapled to the door panel's top metal section using an industrial stapler. Here you can see most of the fuzz removed except at the rusty old staples. Close-up shot of a staple Details of the fastening. Fuzz removed and staple exposed. I used cutters to remove the staples... not a fun job but not too difficult. There are many ways to fasten the new fuzzy trim assembly: - industrial stapler - air powered nail gun/staple…

Hello all My current full dash cover is coming apart due to the sun out here in Arizona. I'm thinking of ordering just the top section of the dashboard (upper half) instead of doing the full one. Has anyone had any experience with the one MSA sells. I know JCWhitney sells them also but those are a bit more on the pricey side (last time I looked it was 120 or something like that). Thanks all Jan P.S I know I can repair it using the methods described but I sadly have little time to do so

Been having problems with my 72 240Z loosing coolant. I tought i found the reason when i changed leaking pipe next to valve in passenger side. It didnt help. Just few minutes ago, i took the driver side carpet away for hoovering and noticed that the insulation foam was soaked wet!! It was worked as a sponge and sucked all the leaked coolant , there was at least a litre sucked in. It was steadily leaking trough summer and i didnt notice a thing, except that every now and then i needed to add a coolant. DAMN. I wonder how much damage this leaky core has made, i mean if it has leaked to transmission tunnel.. For core replace, do i need to remove dash..? I can seriously say…

The radio in my Z doesn't work. I need to replace it (I'm considering the RetroRadio unit) but before I commit to a radio, what I really want to do is get rid of the face plate that is currently installed in the console and replace it with something that's in good shape. The face plate that is in there now looks like it has seen many radios over the decades. There isn't much left to it anymore. I'll post a picture tonight. I've looked for NOS and reproduction face plates but have come-up empty. Does anyone know of a source or have a good solution?

Jan 71 240z I am ready to put the tools back. Does anyone have a description or photo of what goes where and how? Here is a stock photo of the parts borrowed from this web site. It seems to be missing a bag and chock.... and what does the rubber belt device hold down. I ensured all of the welded fittings behind the passenger seat remained exposed.

Hello, I took my air vent assembly apart (under the dash on the passenger side) a while back expecting that I would be putting it back together very soon. More and more time went by and I'm just now getting back to it. Despite my efforts to label my parts well and keep everything in order, I have lost my sense of how it goes back together. I have a number of small pieces, to include a small spring looking piece. Does anyone one know of a diagram that shows how these pieces go together? Again, this is under the dash on the passenger side, up against the firewall. The assembly should open and close the door to allow or cut off air flow. Thank you!!

The rods to the door locks rattle when the door closes. I think I will run some plastic washer hose over the rods to absorb the banging. Any other suggestions?

Hey Guys...I bought a pair of seat covers to replace my badly beat-up originals (white interior), and got some covers that appear to be something closer to light tan than white. The seller has a no refund policy. Supposedly these covers were made by the same outfit that made the covers for the Nissan 240Z restoration program. I had heard that the repop covers weren't correct, but I'm amazed at how far off these covers really are. Attached are a couple of photos of the covers next to an off-white towel (don't have any bright white towels), and on carpet that is a very light tan (note the covers blend in very well with light tan). Has anyone been able to source correct "whi…

Some photos of the Precision Weather Stripping for the Door. There are steel "U" ribs in the stripping that pinch the pinch weld. When you cut the stripping with a knife, try to cut between the "U" pieces. Here is a side view with some of the side rubber shaved to expose the chain of U clips.

I recently started to remake the interior in my 72 and for some reason my doors wont lock. When i slam the door shut ( this is in both doors) and try to lock it (window open) pressing plug, it wont go down. I tried to adjust strikers but it just messed my door alignment. I dont have dovetails I tried also moving that round thing on the door (forgive my idiocy) in to different positions but it didnt make any difference. Halp!
