Thanks. Bad news for me tho. This is a discontinued part according to Nissan. Is this true? What are my options and is there a way to rectify this somehow

Talk to a body shop, they may be able to carefully bend the piece so it doesn't stick out quite so much. Keep in mind though that's easily an 800 USD part to find new if you're thinking of the part I'm thinking of.

Your talking on a R33 right ?

Had the same thing happen with mine along with the little plastic push clips/studs, that went to god, that secure it to the metal clips.

In the end I went and got some stainless steel domed allen key head bolts and bolted it back together.

Then stuck it to the window frame with quality double sided automotive tape

If it is the molding from A to B pillar you'll need to try and fix it. I have been trying to source these for an R33 for months (and am willing to pay stupid money for them if anyone knows where to find a set), they are like unicorns and I cannot find them anywhere in the world brand new.

If we are taking about the same thing, here it is:

Thanks for that, I have those pieces already so we're talking about different things :) The parts I need are 76870-22U00 and 76871-22U00 which are "Weatherstrip Retainer" - the hard black "plastic" molding running from the A pillar to B pillar.

Actually, I think the discontinued part is the one I’m also after/trying to fix. Sorry about the mix up

I'm surprised Nissan has no plans to reproduce those weatherstrip retainers, they're trading hands at 90k yen easily.

I decided to search again last night and found 1x 76870-22U00 in stock in Japan, and paid 112k yen for it 😐 stupid I know, but the only brand new one I have seen pop up in months. Now to find 76871... if you know of anyone that happens to have one, I am more than interested and will pay "im having a mid life crisis" stupid money for it.

They actually didn’t reproduce anything with the heritage scheme (scam), they took new old stock, changed the sticker and tripled the price 

Yep, literally slapped a Nismo part number sticker over the original Nissan sticker in a lot of circumstances.

That's just how it goes these days, if it wasn't you it would almost certainly be someone else.

So the weather strip to which the rain guard gets attached, should there be a gap/channel between this weather strip and the roof? Or should it be flush against the roof?

 

hey mate. the rubber weather strip is attached to the metal retainer and it should sit flush. mine had gaps all over on both sides. so i measured the difference, took them off then bend it back with a hammer dolly set.

You’re a genius!

 

was it fiddly to take off? And once measured did you have to keep reinstalling and removing until you made it perfect?

not at all. very easy.

you first remove the soft rubber door seals held on by push pins. this exposes the retainer. it comes off in one long piece after you remove the screws.

from there, measure gap. take off. bend. put back test fit etc until desired fitment. reinstall. done.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
