Ummm... i know this one cause i got a quote... Ummm.... help me guys, www.allzparts.com.au or something, in sydney, dammit.

What was your quote?

I got a price list ages ago as well, but there were so many peices. It wasnt a kit as such.

[MickieB]

Yeah same, i think it all added up to around $1000 for every rubber on the car. Might be better to go to a rubber place like clark rubber and tell them your car, they might be able to cut to size for a lot cheaper.

For a LOT less than USD1000, you can get a whole kit sent to you.

I will have some spare new rubbers soon.

namely:

- front windscreen

- door weatherseals x2

The allzpart weatherseals come out to around 1000 bucks all up. And from what i've seen, they use the same 'precision' brand seals u see on ebay - which is different again to the "complete 17pc weatherseal kit" which is 175US.

I've got a bit of both.

my dad went to the local rubber shop and got a whole lot for only a few hundred. they didnt have everything but they did stock most, so we have almost a complete new set of rubber for only a few hundred.

I went with the precision kit from the US (MSA). It seems pretty good quality and was cheaper than local sources (even after import duties).

I only had two complaints:

(1) nothing was labelled, just a box full of rubber bits.

(2) it is bloody hard to change the seals on the quarter windows and get it all to fit back together. The bottom corners still don't meet on my quarter windows and I am considering getting them spot welded.

Just something to remember: When buying rubbers, it's the QUALITY that is important, even if you have to pay through the nose for it! There's nothing worse than a leaking rubber......!

Good advice, your parents tell you that?
