I need driver side door seal for my 93 SE both door part and body part. I also need windshield nozzles. I'd appreciate if someone could give me an idea where can I get such things cheap, not necessarily brand new? Dealer is asking $18 for each nozzle which is too much for me. I am afraid to ask about seal.

 

did you check the stickies? http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generat...re-asking.html post #15 i preffer courtesyparts.com

 

Junkyard for a nozzle would be easiest, just find a car that has something that will fit. Or you could buy LED ones from walmart.......

 

If you know the Nissan part numbers and you are buying enough parts to make it worth the shipping the best (see cheapest) place to get Nissan dealer parts I've found is nissanparts.cc.

 

really, for most stuff, I find the part # online, and have my nissan order it. they (my local nissan) seem to be relatively cheap, for most stuff, on par with napa, auto-zoned-out, o'reilly(sp? too lazy to look), etc., unless you are going for something big (alty, engine, window trim, etc.)

 

My dealer is nothing but a bunch of theives... So I order what I can through internetautomart, and courtesyparts. But I usually stop by the local junkyard and see what's around.

 

don't mess with buying a 15 year old door seal. waste of time, and they usually get torn trying to remove them from the donor car.

Contact a Nissan dealer for the seals. about the only place you'll find a quality one. nobody makes a good aftermarket seal that I know of. these cars aren't classic detroit iron!!!

washer nozzles are about $5 each from Autozone. they keep black ones on the shelf in the the "Help!" section..

 

check out online dealers (like courtesy) AND local dealers because their prices sometimes differ dramatically

 

dude....get them from a junkyard. I've already replaced 75% of my seals from junkyard cars for about $30 total. They usually don't give a crap about them since hardly anybody gets them and they end up getting crushed with the car most of the time. If you're careful when removing the seals and know where all the clips are they are very easy to remove. Get a panel popper from Harbor Freight or something like that and you'll be able to remove the clips still attached to the seals, then you can just install them without doing any further work. I just got done with this and it took me about an hour to replace every seal on the car. That's 3 per door, plus the seal along the top of the doors on the body of the car. I've even replaced my window track seals.

It's a good idea to clean the door gaskets and use PB blaster or WD-40 to bring new life into them. Those two things have a great way of restoring rubber gaskets to original "like new" condition.

 

This is what I was slowly coming to as well, thanks for the idea. When a car is 15 years old and not in mint condition you question yourself every time buying a new part. I'm not talking about important ones, but in case of seals I'll definetly survive if they fail on the road .

BTW, I usually use silicone spray instead of WD-40 to make things shine.

I just did the timing chain set in my 04, and bought all the parts from them. I save $500+ from dealer prices, and everything was brand new and OEM, came in the same packaging as the parts I picked up from Balise Nissan here in RI. Quick shipping, cheap prices, and they had no problem taking back what I didn't need.
