drafts from doors and advice on windscreen seals.
Hi all,
im new here so go easy. just bought my first rx7 at the weekend. it runs great mechanically but need a bit of work done to tidy the rest of it up.
will upload some pictures at some point so use can have a look once its daylight again.
anyway, the previous owner has bonded the windscreens (front and rear) in after respray as he grudged paying for new ones from mazda. is there anywhere i can get a set of aftermarket ones from or is it going to be a mazda job? also is it just one seal?
i also have a draft from both passengers and driver footwells when im driving and i open the window
the door does have a seal around it but i must be missing something. any ideas?
hopefully use can help me out, looking forward to getting involved

The windshield seal if is not there,get one from Mazda.If he just took an old windshield out and put another back in and it didn't seal due to a poor job can be rectified by any competent glass installer.
The hatch should have a seal on the glass and if they took it off then "DUH"..I would just find another used hatch,it would make life easier.
Now the doors have a one piece rubber seal that goes all the way around,but the bottom is a separate part too.one strip.
passenger and drivers footwell getting air: are the vents on the floor open.(slide located on the bottom corners of the dash,driver's side)
