Rubber Seal Around Windscreens

[Amaaru]

Hello again everyone!

The rubber sealing around the windscreens of my r33 are really old and brittle, particularly the one at the back. It had bunched up slightly at one area and left small gaps at others so I'm looking to get it replaced.

I rang O'briens yesterday and they said it would be $189 per window and that they may even break the windscreen jst taking it out so it could even cost more...

I ran Instant Windscreens today and was told they were closed, despite their website saying 24hour service 7 days a week!

Am I doomed to pay that crazy amount? Or is there someone else I should call?

If it costs THAT much for the little rubber seal, I would rather use the money to save up and go AM performance to change my dump and front pipes like Talbo was tellin me yesterday

Thanks in advance

ring up nissan, they are more then that new, and also the retainer cost a shit load too (part behind the rubber seal, well its actually not a seal, just for looks)

Oh wow didnt expect them to be expensive. No water seems to get into the car but it doesnt look very pretty, guess it can wait

Hi,

I had the same problem in my R33. But i bought my car with it broken. The rear seal was broken in two parts. While i had my car at the panel beater getting a few touch ups i asked the bloke if he could organise someone to come out and fix it. I got it done and it cost me $120. I spoke to the bloke that changed it over he said it wasnt even a genuine Nissan seal and it costs so much to repair because he has to take the whole rear window out to place the new one around.

Yes its for looks but i changed mine over because i had leak problems in my boot which were patly caused by the broken seal because the water would accumilate in broke spot and release it straight into my boot area.

Let me know how you go
