bryanthompson Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Howdy Folks- Now that the wagon is on the front burner, what are the prospects for finding door seals? These are the worst parts on the car- They look like black, blistery sausages that were left in the skillet way too long. Any leads? Thx BT PS- I've got an extra split-gate tailgate (lower half) if any one is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 probably the easiest thing to do is to take it to a local part store that carrys a variety of seals. Then, see if they can match it to anything that they have. If that doesn't work, check out JC Whitney as well. They have a ton of different seals and you can buy it in feet from them.

WagonsOnly Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 For seals--have them custom-made at a reputable auto trim shop. JCW won't send samples and you'll have to have them cut/fitted to spec. I have not done this yet, but I have called every single Subaru dealer in the country, as well as parts depots and SoA--you cannot get those seals anywhere unless there's some private individual with them NOS still. They can't even be ordered from Japan. However, they are the same as all Stage 1 seals with the exception of the rear gate. So if you find a parts car, grab 'em. (That's what I did.) As for the split tailgate, I'm interested, please PM me with price/details/shipping/color/dings/dents/rust. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
