Has anyone replaced the rubber weatherstripping that is attached to the glass of my '91 hatchback?  Mine is cracking and I need to replace it.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

I did, this week!

Go to a local windshield shop and ask them for a custom job.  Nissan doesn't offer the weatherstrip anymore (in Canada, I dunno about the USA)

Nissan usa sells them. Be carefull they might give u some bull that u have to buy the whole window. but u don't. It will run around $35 or $70 i cant remeber, bought it 2 yrs ago and just put it on 3wks ago. it was fairly easy, I used the wrong sealer but it seems to be working.

It cost me 80$ canadian...

I'm in the Montreal Area (Quebec).  

Nissan Canada used to sell them last year, but it seems they went out of stock this year.

i went to a junkyard and took one off another 240, it was in perfect condition, looks brand new, and it cost me 0$ cause my boss knows the owner.  Does anyone else have alot of windnoise from there sunroof? mine doesnt seem to close really hard, so i stuck a pen in between the clamp and the roof, i dunno, was my solution..... anyway to tighten it?

Since the question has been answered, let me give a little advice:  You fellas that have sunroofs, don't forget to Armor-all the striping for that and everyone do your window's striping at least once a year.  This will help to improve it's life and prevent replacements, even if they aren't that expensive.
