Having replaced those on two different cars, I can tell you that the actual Mazda part has been redesigned since the original production run. It's not metal anymore, it's rubberized and won't rust.

If they're not rusted too bad, sand them down and paint them. They're not hard to remove and install, and it's a fairly easy piece to work with (flat and straight).

Hi all,

I really want to swap my outer window seals, but I'm kinda having trouble in finding them in Europe. I'd also like to find a pair of the "revamped" seals, the ones that do not rust. Do you happen to know any place in Europe where I can find them in UK or something?

Thank you

I think Malloy Mazda here in Virginia will ship them overseas. PM fonzi581 he works there.
