Glad you asked, I was going to post a thread on the same thing! Are you talking about the ones that are $59.99 for 2 (both sides)?

Mazdatrix - a little more expensive, but you know they'll fit right! Mine really fixed a lot of drafts that used to come in from around the broken and chipping old rubber.

Snap them into place and suddenly the car is watertight again, and on top of that, the ride is so much quieter.

Bite the bullet - you're worth it,

Victoria British has them for $39.99/side, too. Everything else they've got seems quality, don't know why these would be any different. Still, that's $30 more than the e-bay ones...

They leak both water and noise.

I have a set of them on my car, and will replace them someday (Soon).

as LongDuck mentioned, bite the bullit and go with the MAZDA ones from mazdatrix! i also reccomend the hatch seal! i just installed it on my 80 LS. what a world of difference. quieter, less fumes, no moisture.

If these are the ones from A+ or something like that, I have to believe they'll work good. I've bought some stuff for CBird from them off of eBay that were perfect and factory correct, which is saying something for repros of 1968 Pontiac weatherstrip....I have the door seals for the '83 RX-7 from them and they're going on tomorrow...having used a set from Hiley Mazda and also Mazdatrix in years previous, it will be intersting to see how these compare...

You guys are awesome!

Thanks for all the posts! Yes, I was talking about the ones for $59.99 for set. Sounds like a mixed review though. Would like to see pics. Thanks again!

I have the eBay (a1automotive) seals and I have found absolutely no fault with them. They fit PERFECTLY and seal the door well.

So are they pretty easy to remove and install? Will I need any glue or anything?

Very easy. It'll take ya 15 minutes per door. The instructions say to use a 3M weatherstrip glue which I did.

I got mine from the guy on ebay a few months ago, before they went up $7.00. They work fine, easy to install, now I need a set for my 84.

It was for the streetported engine, all the suspension, and the stereo

Seriously, I have no idea...cool sticker though. I bought the car from the original owner who was very ****, obviously. If I had to guess, it was either the alarm system he put in or GSL alloys he bought for it, as it came originaly with the steel GS wheels. Here's another shot:
