Window rubber gaskets

Has anyone seen a place that still has some of the rubber, i.e. the rear slider rubber and the windshield vent rubbers? I know that one of the members here use to make a small run from time to time, but havent seen it in a while. I've stripped the Patrol for painting and if I am going to change the rubber gaskets, it needs to be soon, Thanks, daner

The rear sliders were available from Alex that used to frequent this board. But as far as I know, they are no longer available. I think I got the last 2 - and I need them. I have never been able to locate a source for the windshield vent rubbers. There was a post earlier about a fix for the vents - haven't tried it: From Abuelo442 - Weather strip for the windshield vents: This is what I did, and worked wonderfully. I got rid of the old gaskets altogether, and then applied to the vent side regular rubber foam insulating gasket available at any hardware store like HomeDepot (1/4" wide by 3/16" thick). If you put like this, the gasket is never exposed to the sun, so it will last very long. It seals much better than the original, at cost a couple of bucks to replace. And you can contact this Aussie for some of the other stuff: http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/N ... %20G60.htm Dude - you need springs far more than you need paint. That thing sags like my grandma. Good thing you have skid plates - I'm sure you needed them at Moab

There are specialists in England who do all sorts of rubber trim for classic cars and will send catalogue. Nissan had early links with Briitish Leyland so it may be that the trim may cross over to a British type part. Worth a try. Alex
