Anyone know where to get door seals for a 1980 for less than 50 bucks...thats the cheapest i have found them.

 

Anything cheaper is gonna be crap. It should be about that price @ the dealership, actually.

You'll want either a trim removal tool, or bend two tines of a fork out of the way and use the remaining two to pry out the old plastic T-clips holding the seals onto the door perimeter.

 

Good timing on this question! I just installed a set from www.rockauto.com The cost was 75 bucks, but the install went without a hitch and the quality seems to be 1st rate...

 

1AAuto is the chapest I've found and they fit/seal well.

 

partsamerica is actually cheaper then 1a auto depending on where its shipped.

 

I have the 1A's, they are always available on ebay. If you don't use contact cement to put them in like the instructions say, they are much easier to remove and put on another car (I've had my set on three different cars so far). They stay in place fine without the adhesive.

Grab them clean FC door seals and just trim it to fit. Thats how I've done my RX-3's and other other school RX's.

 

Dunno why - the dealer part is only about $50 and comes with the proper mounting hardware, no gluing, trimming, guessing, etc.

 

Manntis, is that for one or the pair? The A1 stuff and the others are for a pair. They fit right on.

 

Autozone and Advance Auto sell them at $65 for both doors and the shipping is free to your local store. They are great quality. They are the same part as the A1auto's. When you install you may or may not need to use the 3M glue that the instructions speak about. It really depends on the amount of door sag your hinges have developed.

When I installed mine the fitment was great, but every time I shut the door the part of the seal along the rear of the window would peal off. I noticed that when I pulled up on the rear of the door, the seal would fit evenly across the rear of the body and have no problem of sealing.

Over time the seal will shrink and the problem may be less. I used the glue and it worked perfectly.

Good luck.
