Has anyone had to replace a sunroof rubber on an M35?

I've been giving the windows a workout over the past week and a bit and the rear rubber appears to have broken slightly :D

Anyone have a code/price on this one?

Hopefully it can be replaced with a cheap after market job, not sure how universal that size of sunroof is tho.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, the code in question is 91246-AQ020 (Lid Weatherstrip) Japanese Price would be approx 4,000 Yen, but with the way exchange rates are and the obscene markup Nissan Australia puts on parts prices, your guess is as good as mine as to what it would cost in Oz..

Thanks heaps for that, I will pop into Nissan and get a current pricing in the next few days.

It doesn't appear to be leaking water into the car so it's slipped down in the list of current priorities.

A little p!$$ed off it happened but considering as though the rubbers are probably 8 years old I can't complain, providing I can get a similiar run out of the new one ;)

I will have to download a copy of Nissan FAST via bit torrent but it won't run on my apple macbook pro :) I will have to use a PC.... shudder... lol

did you get 3 months warranty with the car?? maybe claim on that warranty for the seal instead of paying for it yourself. it IS a problem with the car, and dealers have to give that warranty by law.

if you have problems you have the law to back you up, ALWAYS supply the repair items to them in writing, dated and signed. that way you have the law to back you up if it all goes bad.

im had to do the same thing with my car, lucky it only required a threat to get them to fix the problem...........

The issue is only the rubber seal, as far as I understand it's general wear and tear but will do some more reading tomorrow.

I extended the warranty to 5 years but it's with an external company and not the actual importer/dealer whom I brought the vehicle off.

Once I have a read of the terms in the warranty I will have a clearer idea if it's something that is worthwhile pursuing or if I just get it fixed.

its worth at least asking them i rekon. they might just do it, if they spend a few hundred on your car, youll be happy and go back to them when you want another car. and they know this

anyway, good luck with it! its possible there might be places that make custom seals or replacement factory ones. OR there might be another nissan part that will fit it

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
