R34 GTT Window Rubber/Seal/Moulding/Glazing Replacement?

Hi guys :11_blush:

I'm busy trying to restore my R34 GTT to immaculate condition. I want to replace the rubber seal that goes on the windscreen at the bottom. I looks dried up from the sun and caused it to warp and break. I've attached photos. I would like to know where I can get my hands on something like this as I would like to replace it.

Also, on the driver and passenger window upper seals, there seems to be a line of glue that was left behind from previous owners putting wind deflector/visor guards on it. How would I get this off the rubber? Also, there seems to be a huge gap between the rubber and the frame. Is that normal on R34s? Could I just replace it? And how would you restore all the rubber seals so it looks brand new? 

 

Thanks :3_grin:

Following.
I need to find somewhere that does the lower windscreen rubber as well.

As for the giant gap, my old gtt had it and my GTR has it (only slightly) now. Some 34's don't have it at all, it's an age thing.
I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I managed to source a windscreen seal for my r33 from clark rubber. Only cost me around $20. They have quite a big range there so just take in an offcut of your existing rubber seal [emoji5]

Hi guys,

I managed this problem on my r33 as follow:

Just got seal from local rubber shop, cut it to necessary length and shape. Glue the rubber on cowl panel (plastic cower). Looks preaty nice.

At the moment I want to replace the rubber seals on front and rear windshields, there are 3 parts: molding, fastener and dam rubber.
I am not sure if I need to replays all of them? Will it be enough to replays only outer molding (rubber) or do I need also fastener too? Any experience?

Thanks

Old thread revival but my windshield rubber is cactus also, where did you buy that rubber? I emailed and called Clark Rubber and they weren't overly helpful, plus can't go into any store to look for myself with stage 4.

Just jumping into this one, someone's decided to try get into my 34 by bending that top door window trim back. 

Anyone know how to remove these? Going to try and bend it back properly and sikaflex it... Cheers
 

Sorry to revive an old thread but i also need the R34 windscreen rubber. Was anyone able to locate this? or have any idea on the size from Clarke rubber to make the modification? any help is appreciated. Mine is broken  but unfortunately my nearest store is over 2 hours away and don't want to waste my time.

You can likely just buy a generic once from Amazon - that's what I did, although originally for a different prupose.

I also now have the door-surround trim coming away 5-10mm from the body. Initially I panicked thinking somone had tried to break in, but the other side is the same and there are no pry marks. Strangely, I hadn't noticed this before and I'm pretty meticulous when it comes to the car. There has been some intense weather recently and I'm starting to suspect this gave it the final release it needed to pull away.

Does anyone know how these fix to the body? I tried to push my weight on it but it doesn't move at all. I have bigger car problems at the moment - as is usual - but will attack it before year end.

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
