MikerZ Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I was wondering if anyone knows were to purchase a 280Z 2+2 weatherstrip kit, without having to pay an arm and leg for it? I was shipped a wrong kit from carparts.com which according to the "parts specialist" he sent me the correct item and guarantied that the kit would fit.... It was a precision kit for $246 shipped. I still considered pricey, but after seeing other on zcarsource for 540,another at fleabay for 780 and even a kit from another source for ~1200 I thought that it came out cheap considering the others. I would greatly appreciate your help, as I'm a weatherstrip kit short to complete the body and paint restoration on my Z. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 You actually GOT a weatherstrip kit for a coupe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikerZ Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 I ordered for 2+2 and they sent me a 2 seater... But I just bit the bullet and forked out the 550 for the 2+2 kit from zcarsource. Let's see the fitment and quality/durability of this kit.

Tony D Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) LEarn something new every day! I didn't even know they made an aftermarket 2+2 Weatherstrip Kit! Last I checked people were having issues even GETTING a coupe kit. Sounds like things are better now. I got two 2+2's in bad need of that kit, and The Turd is leaky, so if coupe stuff is available again I'll use my existing kit without worry about getting another!

MikerZ Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think you can make the coupe work if you use additional material to fill in what's short, but what will not work is the rear side windows, those will be extremely small. This is what I purchase this time http://www.zcarsource.com/weatherstrip-kit-deluxe-280z-7-75-78-2-2-new_8_56652_65760.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikerZ Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 So far fitment is good and the kit is ok. The manufacturer is the same, precision but for some reason the majority doesn't carry the 2+2 parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm glad to have seen this, much easier than piecing together a kit from the JY... How difficult is it to replace the quarter window pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Crap, looks like I'll be ordering at least two kits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
