1zcarfan Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The second auction that you listed appears to be a genuine Nissan rear glass seal. I would certainly ask the seller to verify that is the case though. Also, if you choose to deal with reddat on E-Bay, request a quote on shipping/handling if you have a budget!!! My experience is that he tends to pay himself better for handling than most other sellers. Personally, my experience is limited. I have bought a complete set from Victoria British/Black Dragon. From the set I have only used the rear hatch to body weatherstrips. Although they are not identical to original parts, they seem to fit satisfactorly and they do seal. Good luck with your decision, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 thank you for the info. i realy appreciate the part about the shipping i would have never known he compensated with the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnZ Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Make sure you get a ship price! His shipping is a profit center! Very bad experience with him, I had to file a complaint with paypal. If posible I would buy original glass seals. I used a aftermarket that never fit right and caused a leak at the pillar. I'm sure there are some decent ones out there.

lowrider Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 i think im going to pass on the ebay hatch rubber. he wanted $20 for shipping, using air. i asked how long it would take to get it to me and 3-5 days was his anwser. for $20 i would expect rubber to get here next day.

ArnZ Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 The last order I placed with him (reddat) he charged me $17.00 for a handfull of bolts. 3 & 1/2 weeks later no product and no response on when or how they shipped. Not good business, I panned on buying alot from him. It's really a shame because he has a lot good parts that I won't be buying.
