elcarter Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Awaiting the Z factory to get back to me with a list but appears the 2+2 door seals are a thing of the past. I've searched a few times hoping to stumble across the place that has a kit that's 100% complete. Gone though many threads linking stores that are no longer here. Rare spares want $600+ even with both rear and front hatch glass not selected and missing many required rubbers, rear tail lights ect. http://www.vintagerubber.com/260z.aspx- out of stock of 2+2 door seals. I can keep listing the same issue with every singe retailer I have found so far. Complete kit for the coupe but no love for the 2+ Is the 2+2 some bastard no one thinks ever existed? Am I cursed to purchase individual parts and look for a kia Sportarge sample to get a close match at Clark rubber? Where do we go in 2017 for some rubber?

600Z Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm after some door rubbers as well. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLongerHere Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I bought a kit from http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/years ago its missing some pieces for the 2+2 but all the big major pieces are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcarter Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) When I click on a few links at Scott's in the past it link's to Rare spares for a description. Some (very few) parts are a couple of dollars cheaper but most the exact same price. So I figure I'm no worse off than walking into rare spares. At least I can see the quality before and have an option to return if it's not right. I'm just going to have to mix and match. No idea why the 2+ door seals such an issue.

Gyzmo Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) After many attempts to deal with Mr Fickle at All Z Parts and suffering a number of let-downs and then later effectively the business closing. I managed to source a full kit through these guys in USA when our A$ was equal to US$... All Z sourced through these guys regularly and their quality is very good: https://www.prp.com/ Their website has changed since I last looked and is now more difficult to navigate and establish the full set of rubbers for a 2+2 They will sell individual items if required but the shipping cost may be prohibitive depending on size, weight & value. I found if you send them an e-mail they will respond and pull a kit together if you require one. You will need to ask them what the kit will contain and get them to list the part numbers. You will need to know exactly the rubbers for your year model be cause PRP being Amercan will pull a kit together based on the US models. The other possibility is Stewart Wilkins Motorsport at McGraths Hill near Windsor outskirts of North Western Sydney.

Gyzmo Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The other problem child to source is the quarter window pillar assembly. You will find hens teeth more readily... Anyone had any luck sourcing these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndBir Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 From what I found the door seals (ie from Clark Rubber etc.) that replicate the look of the Kia Sportage seals are made from a firmer and thicker rubber and may result in issues with closing the doors.

elcarter Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) I've gone to rare spares and had them plastic mold a 90 degree corner into the door seals at a measured interval that should have the ends meet at the middle of the door pillar. I've not yet had a chance to fit them to confirm. The coup seals does not traverse around the side windows so corners are not needed but on the 2+2 you will. If you go the Clark rubber option and don't have the pre-foremd 90 deg at the rear of the door / quarter window I think you'll have the seal continue to deviate from the curve despite the adhesion attempts. The doors also need to be slammed to shut. I've all but given up on the sportage option, just didn't find it by the meter and the kit was more $ / risk than going full custom. Rare spares in Adelaide should still have the measurements I gave them for my 2+ but remember I've not tested mine yet. The lads at rare spares went over and beyond with this task I have had some dealings with other interstate stores that were a little average but these guys really cared.

Better to have the ends meet at the middle of the sill, as at least the pinchweld's butt joint is mostly covered by the inner sill trim.
