Door Seals

[Briandon]

New to the forum and looking for a bit of advice.
Have had a number of GY 3.0 Wagons over the past 10 years or so and have now added a well used 2001 4.2TD coil trayback.
Among the many thing which need attention are the door seals, does anyone know of a supply source other than Nissan.
I am assuming that Nissan will cost an arm and a leg though I will check.

G'day Mate, and welcome to the forum. If you pop over to the intro section and introduce yourself as well, you will likely get a better response. It's just something we ask for as a courtesy.

In any case, try Purple pig, Industrial Rubber Supplies, and Universal Engineers Supplies. Each of these places does pinch welds and rubber extrusions for door seals etc. I'm not sure where you are in WA, but Purple Pig and IRS are in Welshpool, and UES are in Malaga. If you can get a sample of the seal off the ute and take it in to match it up, you can buy the extrusion per mtr. So measure up how much you think you will need as well. Hope this helps.

I'm currently going through the process now too. I got Nizzbits to quote me up on all seals and then got Ni$$an to do the same. Whilst it was still a lot of money Nizzbits came out in front. As for aftermarket, I have not found anyone that can to the actual seal on the door. The pinchweld seal, if you take a close look at the Nissan one it has an extra lip on the pinchweld itself which covers where the plastic trim sits next to it. While I found even Clark Rubber sell the Pinchweld with the side seal, no one so far sells it with the extra lip on the pinchweld. Plus, all the pinchweld seals I have found too the only colour is black. I spoke to Purple Pig and although they show many different sorts, and colour they can't get many of the ones they show. Go figure. And some of the types they can get only comes in big lengths.
I think for now I will just order the set for the barn doors as I do smell the exhaust fumes a little so I assuming its getting through the old seals.

I'm also going to research on the bailey channel to i think..
