weather strip replacement
 
the wheather stripping on the driver's side door kinda glued itself to the car so when i opened the door the stripping was ripped in half. :mad: The POS leaked anyway. Is there any other non-rx-7 models that share the same weather strip? How would one go about replacing the before mentioned strip?

:confused:

the strip is unique to the door shape but is easy to replace. Even when it rips out you can put it back in, there's just a small metal rail that holds it in.

There's a aftermarket replacement on ebay. I put it in mine, works fine. If you need the thread, I'm sure I can find it. Search on ebay under 'rx7'.

yeah, there are always like 3 or 4 on ebay at the same time....

and they're all from the same supplier. They go for about $49.95 for both doors.

BTW that 'gluing to the car' happens to me on the passenger side after I go through an automated carwash. I prefer the wand-wash anyhow as it doesn't smack your car around.
