GeeZ

I was completely shocked by an ebay seller lately that was selling the black plastic insert (called by Nissan as an escutcheon) behind the door handle. This seller was asking $130 for 1 right and $130 for 1 left. The part number was shown in the ad, so I went to NissanPartsDeal.com and searched for the part number. The site showed that it was available for $5.58 each for either right or left. Apparently, this part was being made again. Also MSA was selling for more reasonable $8.18. Also, I found the window crank available for $28.97 each plus shipping which MSA was selling at a reasonable $38.87 I wonder where we can find more parts number to search for?

I emailed the company to ask if the edges wraped around, but haven't received an answer. So do the edges wrap around?

Pinemont Salvage. Lots of rust and some decent parts. Saw an 240Z front bumper in good shape and a 280Z front bumper in decent shape.

I am not a Rockauto employee. I do get their updates. I thought this maybe of interest to those seeking stock parts. I have bought parts from them that could not be found anywhere else. RockAuto Auto Parts

What model of the Sportage is this ws from? The info I am finding shows that the Sportage comes in 2 door and 4 door.

I installed factory door weatherstrippings several years ago and apparently installed them incorrectly. The part that actually installs to the opening fits ok but the rubber curls up and outward. I tried to tape the curls down but it does not stay plus it is difficult around the locking mechanism. I am told to use a heat gun to make the rubber more compliant. The technique I will use is to clamp down the rubber flat and hit it with a heat gun (650 deg. from a Harbor Freight gun) for 15 minutes. Has anyone tried this and worked? Is my technique plausible? Thanks
