A source for window and door seals**

I ran across this distributor in Australia that carries a lot of seals for the RX7. THey priced the Bailey window channel seals each at $20.30 AUD which about $16.00 US. I don't know what shipping would be, but this sounds a lot cheaper than you can get them over here. Has anyone done business with these folks?

that is considerably cheaper. I've seen ebay sell them for about 50 for a pair of seals.

I wonder if they would be interested in offering a group buy for everyone on the forum. Seals are something that you're going to need sooner or later.

I don't know about that. I will probably order some window seals and find out how they are to deal with. They are supposed to let me know what shipping will be. I know those window seals from VB are about $40 each, so that is about 50% less. I will keep everyone updated as to how it goes. I also emailed them to see if they make the taillight seals and rubber trim pieces.

I second that notion. . . . I lost count, so I'm sticking with seconding.

I checked the shipping to the USA for Bailey channel seals for two doors and it's about 18.00. I also found out that it is just the straight seal strips that would have to be formed and possibly cut at a 45 degree or so at the corners for a good fit. If a person went this route, they could probably find the same trim strips local or at least in the states.
