weatherstrip kit

Tested my vintage rubber kit last weekend and it works great...doors, hatch, etc...the hatch is a but "high" but the seal will sit down over time. I had to put a but of silicone grease at the top of the hatch as the body kept pushing the seal over and now it sits fine. I'm pleased.

Les uses Vintage Rubber parts. Based on his recommendation, I purchased a Vintage Rubber kit last week instead of Factory parts. I ordered the kit directly from Vintage at his request.

Les at Classic Datsun Motorsports has another manufacturer. Check with him as well...

Been there, done that. All I can say is Vintage Rubber is worth every cent. If its worth the time and money to replace, spend a little more.

Genuine is the best but I wonder how old the genuine nissan parts are these days? If they have been on the shelf for 20years there wont be much life left.

I have to see about replacing most of my seals on my 76 280z. Kinda an ouch for that $1300 price tag with Vintage Rubber since I am just looking to have mine up to driver quality with a maybe being a little nicer. Was considering trying to look around a few junkyards for the Kia Sportage door strips to save a few dollars and get the rest of the pieces separately from MSA, and maybe be able to skip out on a few that way as well, but not many pieces (mainly quarter windows and front windshield). Of course, one day I hope to have the kind of money to just have my 280z completely redone professionally
