datsunlandsocal Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 hello to all, about the datsun 620 rear King cab small windows. i just last week sent samples off to the manufacture that makes all my window and weather seals. i'm looking into making the seals for the 620. the samples i sent were realy in poor shape. don't know yet if the samples were in good enough shape to remanufacture. what is going to drive the price up is there is a left and a right. i currently sell for the 620 fornt winshield, rear window seals, door weather seals, inter and outer door squeeges, channel felt. sorry not listed on my new web page yet. also shipped along with the 620 samples, were datsun pickup 521 door wing-window seals left and right. these too i'm looking remanufacturing. should have a answer about both in a few weeks one way or the other. if i have either seals made i won't be playing any games about limited stock, or only having so many made. and or pre-ordering. i have been selling weather seals for datsun 510's almost 12 years now. i'm into this for the long run. i will post a ad when i know anymore info or you can contract me, Mike @ datsunlandsocal.com 714-393-0273 Link to comment

oldskoolvws Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 That's nice. Randy at Vintage Rubber looked into getting 521 seals at one time but the tooling costs exceeded the likely demand and possible return on investment. I had (have) the NOS seals he needed to use for measurements. Link to comment

Rocket Dog Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 The website for Vintage Rubber still lists windshield and door rubber for the 521 truck. Vintage Rubber Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Vintage Rubber still has inventory for what is listed on the site. I saw Randy (Vintage Rubber) this weekend in San Dimas. Him and I talked about vent window seals for the 521 and vent seals for MK1 VW's. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he wants to make these just yet as the demand is not great enough and the profit margin will likely show a loss or minimal gain. It's roughly about $8K - $10K for the dies to be made and the elderly gents making them are getting a little older each day. He may need to find a new resource. We would need to guarantee an order of around 50 to 75 (paid) units to at least get him to consider it. I offered up my NOS vent seals (for loan) for both the 521 and the VW's. He offered to buy them, but this was to put in the filing cabinet for possible future molding. I don't know that I could part with them just yet. So he may consider it in the future, but not just yet. Link to comment
Rocket Dog Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I've left a few messages for Randy and an email. Based on the sound of crickets chirping, he has little interest in 521 rubber. I guess there's no money in it. Anybody got a second source for windshield rubber? Link to comment
