Talking Forget About Weatherstripping....

I'm assuming by "complete rubber set" you mean you need all the weatherstripping (doors, trunk, opera windows, etc.)? All of it has been NLA from Mazda for years. The outer door window seals (at the top edge of the door) were available until about five years ago, but that was the last of the rubber weatherstripping part numbers to be discontinued. Meditz and I have both checked into having some (or all) of it reproduced, but the dies are upwards of $10k per part to have them made. Then you have to find an extrusion company (like Steele) to run the dies for you. Way too much $$ to even think about the project. Only luck is to keep an eye on eBay for someone selling NOS bits they have had stashed away for years or wait for the folks in Bangkok to knock them off.

If the moldings you are in need of are the rocker panel trim pieces, I *might* be willing to let go of a set in decent shape. Email me directly.

Neal.
