bigpaulo 239 Posted September 4, 2014 Do you have Rare Spares or Clark Rubber in NZ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted September 4, 2014 Yes to rare spares but door seals aren't listed???? Not Clark rubber, I'll look them up. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agentkiwi 110 Posted September 4, 2014 $80 a pair on evilbay + postage. AUD too so that's about $367kiwi lol. Worth it though! Did you get a washer bottle yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted September 4, 2014 Hey, yeah I have about four bottles now. Ill check out the seals, I don't want to have to make any joins, like some of the gear out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted September 4, 2014 Dam hit the send button too early. I'm leaning towards the xg/xh if they fit properly given the same door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrianphu123 73 Posted September 4, 2014 i always thought XD-E-F-G are more or less the same. They're a bit longer and you need to trim to fit anyway. 1 NZXD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigCav 464 Posted September 4, 2014 xg xh seals are different, they have an additional lip on the inside of the seal to cover the gap where the rigid headlinings dont go all the way to the edge of the roof, i cant remember if the xg xh seal is also double blistered or if that was the commodore seal which also uses the same lip though nobody makes a new seal with this inner lip that fits properelly, the vn-ns seals go close but stick out a little to far and doors are hard to close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

agentkiwi 110 Posted September 4, 2014 I used that black window sealant mastic because it stays fllexible & it's the right colour 1 NZXD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigCav 464 Posted September 4, 2014 loctite 424 should be used, little tip is to also put a little bit of vacuum line inside the blister at the join that goes into both sections of rubber, glue that in and youll get a lot more strength at the join http://www.loctite.com.au/3320_AUE_HTML.htm?nodeid=8802625912833 3 steve mcqueen, agentkiwi and NZXD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hendrixhc 10,920 Posted September 5, 2014 I got some seals from Rare Spares today. Hope there the right ones cos the guy didnt seem overly confident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blu xe 825 Posted September 5, 2014 I've used the Clarks rubber ones and if you trim em right the join isn't even noticeable. I start at the bottom edge in the centre then tap it onto the pinch weld with a rubber mallet paying particular attention to the corners making sure they are in place as far as they can go. Once you get down to the join cut the seal ever so slightly bigger than you want and you should be able to with a little force it should slot in there and be virtually invisible if you trim it neatly. A bit of Loctite or super glue will have it finished. 1 NZXD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigpaulo 239 Posted September 5, 2014 I recently put Rare Spares seals on just a few weeks ago, fit like a charm. I just used a bit of supa glue to join it under the door. Looks pro! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted September 6, 2014 So I went out and had a good look at the old seals that are on the car and then measured to see if I could modify the rears to suit the front. I found that at the top to corners there is an extra inserted piece of rubber for support to the top window frame. Therefore to make the rears once cut to fit would need the inserts at these locations. I did take photos but at this stage unsure how to get them into this post on tapatalk.

BigCav 464 Posted September 6, 2014 is that right up near the b pillar corners where they tend to pinch up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted September 6, 2014 Yes and at each top corner. So two per door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted September 6, 2014 is that right up near the b pillar corners where they tend to pinch up? Is the gear you sell part number 60-054 have any added strength for the top corners like I've described with the factory stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
