Window Seal Help =\

[Michael_1882]

Hi guys, i took out the speaker the other day and noticed a small amount of water collecting inthe bottom of my door. Obviously this is not the best thing so i look at the external rubber strip the window slids up and down agains and there is a bout a 3-4mm gap. I take it this needs replacing???

My questiong is 1# is this a DIY job or for the cost and effort (like is it relativly cheep) should i take it somewhere

2# where do i take it, a windscree place??? Nissan Dealer (genuin parts woudl be expensive)

Really im just after soem advice, surley someone must have been through the same thing.

You have a 3mm gap with the door open? I don't know if you've noticed, but when you close your door with the window up, the window actually moves out as it hits the frame of the door (rubber). That keeps it tight and stop the water from coming in through the top of the window.

You could check that the window-guides are tight. They are the little furry pads with an adjustable lock-screw on it. They can be seen with the door trim removed, so you should be able to get a socket on them no worries.

As far as water in the door, mine does that too, but looking at the design, it seems to be a normal thing? There are drainage holes in the bottom, but I don't get a LOT of water, just a little bit when I go through a pressure-wash or something. Even the speaker has the top covered, in what looks like an attempt at keeping it dry. The bottom of the speaker pod is completely open.

Thanks for that man long time no speak

Yeah i noticed it move a little, just though it was strange that there was water inteh bottom and it seems to have more down the bottom then the othe window =/

If it was a seal as the other isn't as bad what type of place would you reconmend going.

Heh! It has been a while, eh? Hope the car is still going well for ya! I have been up the central coast a few times since you were last down!

The seal, it'd be pretty specific, so start with Nissan, get a genuine price, then call a wrecker such as JustJap and ask them what they want for a decent used one. They don't usually have a set price or stock of little things like that, but Darren is always keen to help you out, and will try and find one off a half-cut for you.
