Is Victoria British stuff OEM?
I'm looking for a new driver door weatherstrip, and would like to get a OEM replacement. Mazdatrix has them for $70, and the VB unit is $50. Does anyone know of any differences in the two? Thanks.

Get the VB if it's less $. Both have good parts and both probably not actual OEM, but will meet OE specs and tolerances.
Check ebay. search for "rx-7 weatherstrips" or something like that. Genuinemazdaparts has weather strips and I will vouch that everything they have sold me is legit new stuff.

I just recently installed the VB weahter stripping and it went in perfectly. I don't know if its neccesarily OEM, but everything lined up perfectly including the little plastic plugs that go along the bottom half of the door. Its a little harder to close the doors now, but I dont think that has anything to do with poor quality, I think they just need time to break in.

i recomend that you buy the vb or mazdatrix because i bought the ones on ebay yeahh cheap and all but water gets in sometimes. if you do buy the vb or mazdatrix post how they are i might buy them.

Thanks for the advice guys. I found a vendor on ebay that offers a pair of door seals for $64 shipped, but I may go with VB since the fit is good.
builder7, I'll let you know how they go in
