Door Latch Hoop Rubber

[LotusGTR]

As per the photo. This is annoying as the doors do not shut properly (sit proud by a couple of mm) and also the latch rattles on the hoop and sh1ts me to death. Not looking to spend money in the Nissan shop and am dubious as to how good parts from a wrecker would be so any cheap fix solutions that can be suggestred? Anyone have this bit that they can donate or sell? It just the black rubber / plastic bit I need.

Cheers.

I'd probably hit up clark rubber and just get a small sheet of some malliable rubber... cut it to size, roll it over the metal and 'stick' it with something (glue? not sure)

Ask the clark rubber people, and explain exactly what it's for.... they won't steer you wrong.

electrical tape?

electrical tape?

I would suspect this would wear too quickly and be hard to apply effectively in any case. It would require approx. 3mm of tape.

true. but it couldnt hurt to give it a go. maybe see how it goes for a lil while till you find the correct part

You go to your friendly and local wrecker and take one off the pasenger side of a wreck and it's brand new. You can even adjust the hoop slightly to get the door closing exactly in line with the rear qtr panel. My doors now shut with the clunk of a new car. Guy who sold me the car gave me one and a wrecker allowed me to swap mine for a good one. Top blokes. Job done.
