‘84 SE rear window/hatch seal, where to find one?

I’m trying to find a replacement seal for the rear window/hatch on my ‘84 GSL-SE. anyone know where to find one? I’ve looked at Atkins and Mazdatrix. I see one available in Japan on Ebay. I’m not opposed to buying it there but was hoping to not have to deal with the import duties and all that jazz.

Any suggestions of what other places might have it would be greatly appreciated.

I swapped out the door seals the other day and it made a huge difference in the amount of wind/road noise.

Tried rockauto? They have a seal there and its cheap. Worth trying, in fact I may grab one since I need the same.

Aren't all 1st gen (79-85) rear hatch seals the same? Shouldn't be hard to find, I believe they are even still available over the parts counter. P/N 8871-62-761D

Thanks for the replies! Using the supplied part number I verified that it “should” be the seal offered on Rockauto so I ordered that one. I’ll post a follow up once it arrives so we can all know if it’s the correct one.

Let us know if that ends up being a good source, as all the 1st Gen rear hatch seals are the same size.

The seal arrived today from Rockauto and it fits perfectly. Thank you to @Banzai for supplying the part number. Now I’m gonna see if they have the sunroof seal. Slowly changing out the weatherstripping and seals feels good and makes the ride a lot quieter.

It looks like Mazdatrtix still has the hatch seal, both OEM and an aftermarket one:

Sunroof seal too:

The OEM stuff sure is pricey! Looks like Mazdatrix is the only place I can find the sunroof seal.

The last piece that I’ll need after that, and it’s gonna be hard to find I’m afraid, is the rubber that holds the windshield in. I’m wondering if my local auto glass place can track one down for me?

I didn't think the windshield is held in with rubber seals. Its glued in with windshield glue and the clips get used to fasten the molding around the window.
