Good place to get window seals and windshild trim?
Like the title said I'm looking for a place to get a good deal on exterior window seals. I'm also looking for windshild trim. The only place I could find these parts was on mazdatrix for ~60 each. Is there anywhere less expensive? Or do I just have to bite the bullet?

Also since www.mazdatrix.com can get these parts in, you can compare prices by sending them the part #s you need. The local dealership is sometimes cheaper to. The part #s are listed here:

Sweet. Thanks.
I already checked at mazdatrix. They are ~55 there. I didn't check at the mazda dealer yet.. I assumed the price there would be really high. I'll check though. Thanks!

Yeah between Mazdatrix, the dealership, the "discount online" dealerships, or sometimes "mazda discount parts" websites, autzone, advance autoparts, oreilly's, napa, etc... you'll find drastic price differences for no apparent reason.

If you need the windshield garnish left and right because of chipping I can help. I have a 91 that was all chipped up and the price, even through Ray Crowe at Malloy, was astronomical. I used a shaper table and routed the damaged plastic edge back to where it is metal. Then I dressed it with a flat file and painted it with SEM trim black. They look better than stock and only cost the can of paint (which I had anyway). Hopefully you can make out the trim from the picture. Be careful and be patient and it will work really well.

Thanks. They are both mine. The color is the blazing copper metallic pearl from Mazda. I built the FD three years ago and the FC this past winter, it is my daily driver. My first seven was coppper back in 79. I guess I never got over the color.

Yes, I do need the windshield trim too. All my body trim is in pretty good shape except for the window seals and windshield trim.
Thanks for the suggestion... Like yours, my windshield trim is all chipped up too. Do you happen to have a closer pic showing the trim?
