I've read a ton of posts about how the new door seals are larger than the stock ones and cause problems.

Anyone bought the ones from here:

since they are Nissan would they fit without adjustment? I'd rather go to the dentist than try to adjust the doors.

You can still get door seals from Nissan.

sheesh, I do that way too often. Jump on some aftermarket source without checking with Nissan first. Thanks for the heads up.

Don't forget to compare prices between OEM and aftermarket seals. It all comes down to what your goal is - functionality or originality - and your bank account balance. Aftermarket seals worked nicely on my '71 and will keep out the elements as well as the pricier OEM pieces.

this post may have answered my question:

although on page 1 it was mentioned that the 240Z factory ones weren't available anymore.

My prior attempts with adjusting doors when I had to replace hinges were nightmares that I don't want to repeate.

Years ago I used some universal fit stuff that we used on tractor cabs where I worked. It worked pretty good, but I don't have the source for it anymore

so far my online requests have come back with:

> no longer made, nissan has not had those for many years

or

>G6921-W6000 WELT BODY is the part you are looking for list-18.63 your cost-13.42 They would have to be ordered.

or

>The catalog is not very clear, these parts are listed as rubber-sealing door , 80931-N4501 RUBBER Rh is $14.15 and 80932-N4501 RUBBER Lh is $14.15

no reply from Courtesy yet, although they haven't replied to my request from the weekend when I bought the car either yet.

within minutes of emailing Motorsports Auto I got a reply:

I can order them which normally takes about 3-5 business days. The price is $73.57 each side. The only problem is they are “new, old stock,” meaning they have been sitting for a while and are starting to crack a little. Nissan no longer produces them. We also have an aftermarket version of the original for $34.95 each side.

so far they have been lightening fast with all of their replies

I got mine from Lynchburg Nissan a few months back. Let me know if you need part numbers and whatnot.
