door and hatch seals?

Anybody know where to pick up some door and hatch seals online? I found some on eBay but for the doors only. the ones for the doors are messed up pretty bad and the hatch seal is cracking and falling to pieces literally.

I got the ones off eBay... they seem to be solidly constructed though they look a little different from the originals. Very easy to install. I've only had them for about a week and I haven't put them on the freeway since the first day. They seem to seal okay, not perfect at 80mph but I don't know if these cars ever were. I'm also going to try adjusting the driver's side door again. The instructions also mention that the sealing may improve after a few days. We'll see.

As an aside, be careful when you put them on, as either seal will fit either door... heh.

The hatch seals are sold by Mazdatrix for something like $90.

You should try Victoria British. They have all sorts of the old stuff.

Do you need to use weatherstripping adhesive on the door seals?

I bought my door seals off eBay - I think they were A-1. They installed the same as the originals, using the OEM style pins, no adhesive. Mine fit perfectly...
