M35 Sunroof Rubber Replacement

[Bis-e Bee]

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

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.

Can you point out in the attached pics which part it is? (number is fine) then we can find out the part number..

Front

Rear

Ok, rear pic.

If I'm right I think the code for the window rubber is 91246+A.

If you need further information let me know.

Thanks dude.

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.

let us know how you go pursuing the warranty with that dealer. TMI, HCN, All Motor Imports - whatever company name they sold you the car under has a bad rep on this forum.

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...........

[Bis-e Bee]

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
