weather strips

Well it is nearly time for the RX to be handed over to the Wife
But I need some help getting some bits
I need both door outer weather strips
And all so as she is suffering with eating fan belts where can I get a set of ally twin belt pulleys?
Thanks for your help
She is a 89 Turbo 11 convertible

Pretty much all of the door and window weatherstripping is still available from Mazda. I've bought quite a bit of it in the past year.

Which belt is the car continually breaking? Check all pulleys for that belt for burrs and clean them up. Check for proper alignment, tension and deflection. Just changing the pulleys may or may not solve that problem.

please buy new strips, get it through mazda dealer especially if you get the shop discount, or through mazdatrix who's prices are close to shop price+ shipping+credit card fee

new ones are so worth it, not only are they a different material and look really nice, but the fresh rubber actually keeps alot of water from going in the doors

Try rockauto.com

I went to the dealership to get one this morning and they wanted $120 for the passenger side. It's only $60 on rockauto. Black Dragon used to be a good place to look before they stopped doing FC stuff.

If you need, the outside window weatherstrip, I would also suggest getting the upper piece as well. When I got a new outer weatherstrip from Mazda, I realized I would definitely want the upper piece, too. Rob is correct, it is a new material and looks incredibly good. It'll put the older upper piece to shame if you don't replace that at the same time.

My description wasn't all that clear, so here's a picture. The new piece is obvious. When I say the "upper" part, I'm referencing what surrounds the rest of the window, which is nice and crusty in this photo.
