Rear and Front Windscreen Seals

Hi,

I was just confused about the windscreen seals on my r32 gtr. As seen in the photos (especially the third) the front windscreen seal is not tight. I think its missing a hard plastic layer or something but i'm not sure based off how Nissan has explained it with original part numbers and diagrams. 

If anyone has any info regarding parts and part numbers. Also whether I need to buy OEM parts or a generic seal and where I can purchase these from that would be much appreciated :) 

(For reference pictures 1 and 3 are the front windscreen and 2 and 4 are the rear)

Regards,
Peter

Callan is correct ^

Search RHDjapan for original part numbers. There is even recent threads on here with all the info you need.

Generic works but you loose the original look/authenticity.

Any car window fitter will have aftermarket generic windscreen rubbers (like O'briens).

Yep...... Unfortunately these parts are getting very expensive:

This is what you need, one of each. Then you need to pay to get an installer to fit them. Don't expect much change out of $2K for the lot fitted.

I searched high and low from various suppliers to get a complete set 6 months ago and it owes me over $1300.00 plus fitting.

Cheers,

Bob.

Just checked Amayama website, they want $551 for front mould set and $897 for rear mould set plus postage but both front and rear fastener sets are discontinued.

This is a classic example of how important it is to get parts when you can because R32 parts are getting very hard to source.

I'm still kinda unsure how the windscreen seals work in comparison to getting just your typical fitting rubbers from O'Briens for example. It seemed like on the car as if the windscreen rubber that is current on was fitted within the gap and as it heated and overtime etc it expanded and what not and became unstuck. Does the OEM have a harder plastic seal over the top or something?

I also saw something like this

Weighing up the options on whether to go OEM or just use the spare cash for other things that need attention like original seats etc

Thanks for the info btw Bob, ill send you a message to get in touch in the next few weeks when I get a free weekend off work etc

That link - They're useless unless you have the fastener set which you don't. Those are metal and clip over the top.

The fasteners are put in when the windscreen (f/r) is out at time of manufacture. Then the window is placed in and the mould set applied.

The typical fitting rubber seals don't come out when done properly. I except yours was just bodgy job in the first place. People get what they for.

Hi Peter.

I recently went through this exercise and was able to source all OEM parts from Andrew at Kudos Motorsports - http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/index.php.  I recommend getting in touch with him as he has a fantastic selection of parts and most are usually available immediately.  He and his team are also brilliant to deal with, offering great service.

Cheers,

Mark

Any idea on what rubber types/styles these are? trying to get myself a set please, thanks.

Hi Denis, per earlier in this thread (and there is similar info elsewhere), it is unlikely you can get factory seals and clips and will have to go generic replacement.  Even if you can get hold of all of the factory moulds the clips that hold them in are not available and yours are almost certainly broken by now.

So, all you need is a competent installer who can fit generic seals. The last 2 times I had the seals done, they were not done correctly and came loose (1st time) and are fitted fully but don't sit very well (2nd time).

Sorry there doesn't seem to be a better solution out there. Of course, if your retaining clips are not amazingly broken, you can try and refit the factory trims.

Hi @Denis,
I recommend that you contact Michael at Metro Auto Glass who is very experienced with BNR32 installations and who has installed OEM fronts and rears for me personally.  He is Sydney based but may be able to assist you.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
