hi all
can any convertible guru tell me if the RUBBER FRAME that goes around the rear plastic window a separate item that can be purchased from the dealer?

some dearls i called told me i can't, i must i buy the entire canvas. some told me i can just purchase it separately.


anyone? any link?

I think it comes with a new window.

thank you for the quick reply. in fact, i bought the new window from emiata and it does not come with my new plastic window......now my old rubber is cracking up...i don't know what to do now.....

Hmm shouldn't bought a BMW window.

What's wrong with your old rubber?

the left side of the rubber frame cracked and broke loose.............should i simply use the super glue to fix it? i am just afraid that once i glue them, they will crack again since that's where the window folds..............


and btw, what do you mean by "i shoudln't have bought a bmw window"??

E-miata has a canvas weather strip, not a rubber one. He got into a copyright thing with a rubber one. I have heard it works fine. No, you can not buy a rubber seal, call E-miata, he can help.

Oops I meant should've.

+1 I'll be ordering from e-miata before the end of the year.

My rubber trim has been looking horrible for... well, longer than I want to admit. There is no glue or adhesive I have found that will hold up to the folding of the window and stay attached to the canvas.

If somone else finds otherwise, please let me know.

I bought mine from the dealer, no problems here. We have a great dealer in OKC.

so why dont you just buy it from the 'dearl' that says you can buy it seperately, then return it if its not what you want?

:dunno

Brashland,

I used something called Tiger sealant (Used to seal Train windows!) about 2 months ago. Seems to have held togeather :) Plus i have had the roof down a few times and its still in tact

I have a rubber emiata one :D and the canvas one works just as well!

I've fixed mine w/3M marine adhesive sealant 5200 black.I shave the bad part flat to the window and mold the sealant a bit at the time to the level of the frame.Frame the area w/tape and put thing cotes till you fill the gap.It takes 24 to 48 hrs.I did mine a year ago,no problems so far,it's about $10
