Hey Guys and Gals,

I have a small, but very annoying problem with my Stagea. The passenger door seal is stuffed, and everytime I either wash my baby or it rains, a very small amount of water leaks inside. Its a 1997 S1 Dayz. I have used the search and for sale functions, but to no avail. I am based in Perth, and was wondering if anyone knew where I could source one? I have tried Japwreck in Cannington but they had no idea what I was talking about.

Any help would be awesome

Mark

Hi Mark

When you say "it's stuffed" exactly how is that? Is it torn? If it isn't it maybe just window adjustment.

If it is damaged then try the dealer that you got it from, as most dealers (importers) will help source parts to THEIR customers.

Otherwise, Nisswreck may be able to help. email [email protected]

Or check out their website.

There are a few wrecking around Oz.

NZ could also be a good place, the rubbers aren't heavy. So try www.trademe.nz

Good Luck

Try Japwreck in Beckenham - I dunno if he has one, but the bloke there used to have a S1 - I don't even know if he still has it, but at least you can rest assured he knows what you are on about >_<

do you have sun roofs? are you sure it's door seals?

I have a leak from my sunroof, runs down to passenger footwell at the a pillar right next to the computer, only when I park nose downhill. Aparrently there are drains from the sunroof that can block and cause a leak

Thanks for your help everyone. I really appreciate it.

To answer some of your questions:

Appealing: No its not torn, there just seems to be a gap from the top of the window to the top of the door.

Duncan: No sunroofs on mine, so thats not the problem :) Thanks for the suggestion though.

I will try some of you guys and gals suggestions.

Again, thankyou all for your help. Wish me luck.

Mark

HI Mark.... in that case probably won't be solved by putting in another.

Try re-aligning the window, you might get a little more height on it, more often though it is the angle of the window. You might be suprised what you can adjust out.

The other thing that is also likely is the door hinges may be worn and showing it the window seal.

try taking some measurements against the passenger door.

Cheers

John

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
