Will370z Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I had a similar problem with my 350 roadster, luckily i foundit leaked within weeks of buying it and the garage agreed to replace all the seals as a goodwill gesture. They had to be imported from japan and they were astronomically expensive at around that price. Hopefully zmanalex will have them in stock for cheaper. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Open the door, look half way up the A pillar you will see a small flap of rubber, all you need to do is tuck that flap under the slot behind it, jobs a goodun. That's what I did and solved the water ingress. The seal is so expensive because its a complete seal for both doors and across the screen.iirc.

samsniss350z Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There is a fairly simple trick you can use which will find out just whereabouts your seal is leaking. That is to run lard or butter all of the way around the seal and then shut the door and open it again, the seal that has a marking of lard around the door is where the seal is leaking and you can plump the seal by filling the inner seal with a smaller piece of rubber and thus sealing the leak..
