85' Sun Roof Gasket

You're not going to believe this...a freaking raccoon got into my garage and was impossible to get out...he did damage to so much stuff every night...but the first night was the worst...he climbed up onto my 85' RX-7, and chewed the sunroof gasket up on my slightly opened sun roof...WTF?? Then he slipped, slid down the glass and broke the rear wiper...double WFT??

I can fix the wiper, I think...but the sun roof gasket is toast. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to buy a new one?

The good news...a few days later when he finally left the garage after pattern of damage I saw him lying dead in the road...KARMA, she's great!

PS, I am also in need of a clutch slave cylinder...is this a common item at an AutoZone or dealer only type item? 85' RX-7 GSL-SE (soon be sold this spring!!)

That's a raw deal on the rodent eating the seal and such you might try Black Dragon I believe carries it, as for the slave cylinder yes, autozone carries it but, it's a special order item so be ready to wait a couple days, if I remember right it ran me like $20-30 bucks. Best of luck, hope this helps ya out.

Man that sucks! The sunroof gasket is still available new last time I checked. You might have to do some searching for the rear wiper parts though...

I bought a new OEM Mazda sunroof seal for my GSL from Mazdatrix. Was something like $50 plus shipping. Check their site.
