Hey Guys and Gals,

I have a small, but very annoying problem with my Stagea. The passenger door seal is stuffed, and everytime I either wash my baby or it rains, a very small amount of water leaks inside. Its a 1997 S1 Dayz. I have used the search and for sale functions, but to no avail. I am based in Perth, and was wondering if anyone knew where I could source one? I have tried Japwreck in Cannington but they had no idea what I was talking about.

Any help would be awesome

Mark

Hi Mark

When you say "it's stuffed" exactly how is that? Is it torn? If it isn't it maybe just window adjustment.

If it is damaged then try the dealer that you got it from, as most dealers (importers) will help source parts to THEIR customers.

Otherwise, Nisswreck may be able to help. email [email protected]

Or check out their website.

There are a few wrecking around Oz.

NZ could also be a good place, the rubbers aren't heavy. So try www.trademe.nz

Good Luck

Try Japwreck in Beckenham - I dunno if he has one, but the bloke there used to have a S1 - I don't even know if he still has it, but at least you can rest assured he knows what you are on about >_<

do you have sun roofs? are you sure it's door seals?

I have a leak from my sunroof, runs down to passenger footwell at the a pillar right next to the computer, only when I park nose downhill. Aparrently there are drains from the sunroof that can block and cause a leak

Thanks for your help everyone. I really appreciate it.

To answer some of your questions:

Appealing: No its not torn, there just seems to be a gap from the top of the window to the top of the door.

Duncan: No sunroofs on mine, so thats not the problem :) Thanks for the suggestion though.

I will try some of you guys and gals suggestions.

Again, thankyou all for your help. Wish me luck.

Mark

HI Mark.... in that case probably won't be solved by putting in another.

Try re-aligning the window, you might get a little more height on it, more often though it is the angle of the window. You might be suprised what you can adjust out.

The other thing that is also likely is the door hinges may be worn and showing it the window seal.

try taking some measurements against the passenger door.

Cheers

John

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
