kiwi808 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 O.k. everyone I would like some feedback from people who have used either Phils Rotaries or Rare Spares replacement door rubbers please. I know most of the Mazda owners out there reckon Phils Rotaries in Brsbane's replacement panels are shit. I have seen a pair of his front guards that were shit and wouldn't line up etc. But not heard anything about his replacement door rubbers. I can buy left and right door rubbers for $110AUS posted to my home. Or Rare Spares in Christchurch sell each door at $130 each so a set would cost me nearly $300 posted to me here in Dorkland. Money isn't a problem. I would happily pay more for a superior product but really have no idea which ones I would go for. I want/need them to be as near as possible to the originals. Has anyone out here used either companies door rubbers and have any advice to offere please? Any opinions are greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've seen a phils rotaries door rubber set for an rx2 coupe where half of them were too short or wrong. Taiwanese crap. Have you tried Mazda? I got s1 Rx7 rubbers and felt strips from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz oh good im not the only one. currently have some tape holding the door rubbers on. but the main issue was the 323 hatch boot rubber. the boot didnt want to close afterwards! ive had to use a whole lot of washers to space everything out for it to close and lock but now the factory lines are upto wack. I WILL NOT BE BUYING OFF OF THEM AGAIN! rant over haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Could clips be removed from old door rubbers and fitted to Rare Spares sets or is there a design fault with these. Would be pissed if I spent $300 on door rubbers that wouldn't stay on..

Don't really want to 'Glue them on', that's not what Nana intended. Will look at option F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I guess when buying anywhere ask if they are identical to factory. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Problem is they have all told me they are exactly the same as the originals. Yet the rare spares ones don't have clips or a way to fit them. Phils Rotaries ones have the clips but are shit and Scotts old rubbers don't answer the phone or answer e-mails. And Mazda NZ are sick and tired of questions about 40 year old cars apparently.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLDRX2 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Is the down side of the mazda rotary. thanks to the high number of knuckle draging, knumbnuts that own them, Mazda NZ don't have a hell of alot of patience for anyone asking questions about parts form them. ( can you imagine some of the calls they get ? ) The best way, I've found, to get taken seriously when asking about parts is to have the part numbers for the parts your after. This page should be helpfull http://foxed.ca/index.php?page=rx7manual I can't say if anything will be available though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis1791 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 i asked at work and the only way any parts can be found is if you have a part number to go by. if you can get a genuine number then i can try with that but they have no catalogues for anything older than sa22 rx7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
