Where can I get a new AFT roof seal?

Post by amauvis » Sun Jun 21, 2015 7:12 pm

Hi all,

My Bongo has been with me for three years now and it's part of the family. It was a good one, nice and straight and with excellent mechanicals but the paint was not tip-top with some rattle-can work, fading and clearcoat issues. With the appearance of a couple of rust bubbles on the rear arches, and because of the faithful service given, I have treated it to a repair and full respray. Saw it on Friday and it is looking ace. Just the AFT to paint now.

The roof seal is in OK nick, but it is past its best. In order to repaint the AFT though, the roof seal has to come off for a proper job. I would like to replace it with a new one if I can. Neither Ebay nor Google is performing in tracking down a new replacement - anyone here have any ideas or leads?

Cheers

If all else fails you can buy an original Mazda AFT seal via the "Exterior" section of the club's Bongo Shop. Out of stock at the moment though.

I'd prefer an original one to be honest, especially following the comments about the fit problems at the rear with the Woolies version.

I agree and did the same. If you're spending on a proper makeover, why risk spoiling the ship etc.

Hi
I'll agree with Mike....I'm doing mine soon, but it lives in the barn a lot at the moment!
