PR280z Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Brought some kea sportage weatherstrip for 10.00 each from the junker today,doors plus hatch. The fit came out fine. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/831/cimg6005.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/21/cimg6008k.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/38/cimg6002p.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/221/cimg6005b.jpg/ Edited June 7, 2012 by Mike kZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan95i4 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Everything close ok with it? have you tested for leaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I thought KIA's weather strap is longer. What kind of glue did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I did the Sportage WS myself. Got both sides,enough for the rear hatch and 2 maxima caliper brackets for $7.50 The Doors take a little bit more to shut but the seal is perfect.

Six_Shooter Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I've been using the Sportage seals for about 2 or 3 years now, they work MUCH better than the OEM type it seems, even new replacements, which seem to have incorrect dimensions. I didn't glue mine in place FWIW, just trimmed out the excess length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR280z Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Have`nt ck for leaks...but from what i`ve read here on these forums i decided to give it a try.Trimmed about inch 1/2,but on one door the fit was exact and did`nt have to trim.Doors shut fine, i did have to massage it a bit where the hatch struts are other than that ,perfect fit!

PR280z Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I`m not sure .There were 4 kia sportage and did`nt bother checking the year. I grabbed the best one of each car. One thing for sure is that i use the KIA rear door WS for both my doors and the KIA front door WS for my hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMission Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I just picked up front and back for 10 bucks locally after seeing them on a few Zs at the Canby show. I was on my fourth glueing try with the black dragon ones... The BD ones are just too plain thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
