Starion Door Seals..

Post by Cam »

I am wondering does anyone know where to get them?
someone suggested http://www.spectrumrubber.com.au but i have searched and emailed and they tell me they dont do them.
I need them bad i cant drive in the rain coz i get all wet.
Id really prefer new one's so they'll last longer.

I've looked around as well. You'll either need to find a wreck with seals in good order or you buy them from Mitsubishi... obviously, they'll be shockingly expensive!

stick em in the dish washer, zip tie them into round shapes so it dosent get hung up in the machine. use normal powder ext..... (thats dishwasher, NOT washing machine, dont ask, just trust me, dont use the washing machine!!!!) all the steam/heat will help them to recover a little, has worked for me on all sorts of cars, any paint will also fall off at a touch after this treatment. still no good, leave in hot water for longer (or one of those steamcleaning things works better if u have one.)

i spent some months looking for new ones, or a rubber supliers to make something close... the best i got was one place could make the basic profile, no high speed wind strip thingy and no molded corners, just a round loop. in short - useless.

btw, of the 6, thats right, 6 peices that make up all the door and window seals PER DOOR i had no joy in finding anything close, some sections worked well but where to big and bulky for the elec windows to shove into, so they stoped 5mm short. the only thing that i have used is standard pinchweld along the top of the doors to replace the origional tin strips that had rusted away, these dont work all that well but better than rust.
I figured out the meaning of life, and since then every day just gets worse.

Warranty void if stupid.
