Hatch hinge seals?

[slvrhase]

Does anyone know where a person can get the rubber boot type seal that the hatch hinge sits in? Nissan isn't sure if it comes with the hinge and not certain they can even get the hinge. MSA and VB don't show the part in their catalogs, that I can find. I've checked online, nothing. This was the only reason my '75 had any rust, water came in there and eventually rusted through the sheet metal below, then the floors, etc., etc.! What is everyone doing about this seal? I don't want to let it rust again! I haven't found any good used ones, either.

Thanks.

I'm also trying to track these down as my car didn't have these installed either and the rust that is caused by these missing is huge.

If I find them i'll let you know.

Thanks Alan!!

Anybody else seen these anywhere! I would think it would be a common enough item that someone would be reproducing them?

They were used in all S30 coupes (8 years worth) but they were discontiinued many years back.

I tried to order some from Courtesy Nissan in '98 with no luck..

Thankfully my car won't be driven in the rain, but I'm still searching for some decent 2nd hand ones....
