KatoKid Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Had my front and rear screens fitted today. Front screen rubber was Precision from MSA and fitted very well according to fitter....would bang again. Rear was genuine and fitted as expected. Pretty impressed with all of the Precision stuff, would recommend. GongZ and gav240z 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndBir Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Kent, So true about some of the shipping charges out of the US. Agno, Have read a lot of reviews about the aftermarket door seals and how they are not a good fit. It's the one thing that bothers me as well. I am presuming that most of the aftermarket kits out of the USA would be made by Precision, so the door weatherstrips would be much the same from whoever you bought them from. Scotts Old Rubber Co must have sold out to Rare Spares. When you visit Scotts web page and click on the product link description, it takes you to the relevant part on Rare Spares site! I also looked into the Kia Sportage weatherstrips. To buy them new from a dealer it will cost $170ea. May as well get OEM! As well as that, because they are not a popular item(Kia don't sell many)there's no stock in the country and it will have to be special order from Korea. The seal is meant to work well as a replacement for the hatch as well. Best bet would be to source them from a wrecking yard somewhere at a decent price. Based on info from a USA website you can get new Kia Sportage weatherstrips for a semi reasonable price from http://www.koraps.com// I have ordered 2 and the cost delivered from Korea totals $117 The item numbers are : 0K01859760B and 0K01858760B gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted January 24, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2018 Please let us know how they go when you arrive and fit them? Some Korean car dealer is going to be wondering why suddenly there is a rush on for Sportage weather strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Korean car dealer is going to be wondering why suddenly there is a rush on for Sportage weather strips. Shall do, tried to get used ones from various wreckers however they were either no longer on the car shells or were torn. I found this photo of how the Kia weatherstrip(right) looks compared with factory(left) and aftermarket(centre). GongZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndBir Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) OK, Kia Sportage door seals arrived and looked good as the seal felt softer than the one I had looked at from Clark Rubber. They each come as a joined loop and the join makes a good point to have the 90 degree bend. The photo below shows the Kia on the right (metal showing) and a sample Clark Rubber one on the left (of the upside down photo!). The Kia's seal is of similar size but the rubber is thinner and less dense. It seems to be a good fit all round however still requires a bit more of an effort to close the door than previously but this is probably because the old original seals were stuffed!

AndBir Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I am going to purchase another KIA Sportage door seal to use for the rear hatch seal and wondered if anyone was interested in combining an order to save on postage? Part Number : 0K01858760B (0K018-58760B) · Part Name : WTHSTP-FRT DOOR · Model Name : SPORTAGE 94-02 * Some parts are compatible with other models. · Manufacturer : HYUNDAI / KIA GENUINE PARTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdinZ Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Me me me!

With this in mind if you want to use the KIA ones you will need to purchase 3 of them and probably use the 3rd one to make up the shortfall on the door sill area of each side.

240ZBUILTBYME Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Reviving a very old but very valuable thread! Couldn’t find any newer info or newer threads on the topic so I wanted to keep any new info together. Im just wondering if anyone has installed the Zcardepot weatherstrip kit? I purchased their weatherstrip kit recently and just wanted any reviews or thoughts. https://zcardepot.com/collections/weatherstripping/products/weatherstriping-kit-rubber-seal-240z-260z-280z-70-78 If you’re thinking “this guy is no where near needing seals”. You are correct. But I will need seals when replacing outer rockers and doors so I can start gapping panels/doors properly from the start of the process. from what I have read most of these weatherstrip kits contain mostly precision seals with some randoms thrown in. So I didn’t think it was overly critical which supplier I went through. They were having 10% off for Black Friday so I took the leap of faith. Also got their grommet bumper kit. https://zcardepot.com/products/rubber-bumper-body-grommet-and-hole-plug-kit?variant=19280395665521 Total shipped $747aud , I couldn’t believe I spent that much on a box of rubber....
