MH77280Z

Appreciate it...let me know.

Hi, I have a rebuilt original starter which works fine when the engine is relatively cold (assuming at that point starter is also less hot!!!). If I turn off the engine at operating temp. and try to start it again my starter just clicks. It seems that plunger when hot has some issues. It happened to me the other day and I waited for everything to cool down for 20 mins and started the car again fine. I dont believe it is the inhibitor switch etc. I have a rebuilt starter on a different classic car and I am seeing similar behavior. Anyone seen similar issue?

Hi Guys, my roof rain drip trim has only one retaining tab in it. I think I might have lost the other while taking it off or it didnt had more than 1. How many retaining clips each has? and are they available? any link would be appreciable.

If there is a room for a seal in this area on 280z then i assume without it there would be a gap. I dont drive in rain or wet weather even here in CA. Can report wind noise with or without it. But people who drive in wet i think this can help protect the sill area. You dont want water to be sitting under those for sure. Let me take the pics as well @zKars mine are coming too short once i start installing from either side. They have 4 holes which is what my door has but the 4th dont align like i said when you start installing either end.

Guys, pretty simple part to install with pins. I bought these online at ebay and they came short for my 280z. Anyone tried them from other sources. Would appreciate if someone can share a pic or 2. I am reluctant to buy from zcar as i feel i will get he same item which will come out short. Any reliable sources and if anyone saw this issue with 280z?

I have loosen the bolts and moved around the channel guide and it probably is working. One of the bolts doesnt align but window glides up. May be i need to keep fiddling as there is definitely nothing broken and I did not added anything extra.

77-78 dont have these roller.

Yes, the 77-78 glass sit in a metal base which has holes which need to be aligned with the glass. So it is sitting correctly on it and 4 rollers fit at a specific place as well. I was able to mount the base to the shaft in the door as well. But yes to your question.

Hi Guys, I took out everything to clean. Have installed the passenger side correctly no issues with alignment. On the driver side when i roll up the glass it comes out of the channel on the outside. Anyone has any idea how to handle this situation? Is there a problem with installing the glass below in the regulator or the top door channel itself? any thought?

@Terrapin Z which year/model car these pics are from? I am pretty certain my 77 280z do not have any place for this stopper. I have checked thoroughly. I think my window regulator just stop at the right time i.e. it has finite movement. Seems like even on this thread the folks where not able to locate any room for these in a 77 280z. https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/132000-window-bumper-rubber-location/

Appreciate the photos. Let me try to locate mine. Rear make sense as the glass bracket is tilted on the rear and that side should come in contact first.

Hmmm I have already installed the glass inside the door. But I am sure nothing like this exit inside my door! a better pic would be nice.

Cannot locate this one. Can someone send a pic if possible? I have the panels and glass removed as I am working on the door but cannot find this stopper!!! https://zcardepot.com/collections/weatherstripping/products/door-window-glass-bumper-rubber-stop-1970-78?_pos=1&_sid=0da72075a&_ss=r#

Blood sweat and tears alone ... had to call it a day after one side but it went in. I actually bought some longer screws and installed the lower back one wile it was far way and while i tightened it I pushed the window in place. Then the same with upper front one. Then used the regular size on the other two sides to bring it closer. Once closed unscrew the longer one one by one and use the regular ones. Will test this again on the other side tomorrow. So far it has worked. But I had to put a lot of weight behind to actually align the first one as well.

I was able to set the bottom front screw just like you mentioned. Let me try to do this with the rear one first as that requires more pressure first and then the front ones might align. Will report back...

I was concerned of putting too much force and shattering the glass!!! Also when u do push it inside all the way, i can hardly see any rubber on the top and the lower rubber actually bends outside a bit. Is it normal?

Scratch was an accident when I pulled it out. Generally when I am sliding it in it dont scratch. I put some silicon on the rubber to lubricate it. It helps sliding it inside more comfortably but risk slipping 🙂 I am more careful now.

Guys, seen few videos and following the directions but there is too much rubber to align the 4 holes. The videos say taller edge on the outside. I am thinking to flip it and use the taller edge inside what you think. This is a nightmare and i have already got too small scratches to the new paint!!! what to do?

Got it working. The old one was pretty torn and I couldnt tell the direction. It did had weatherstripping glue a small bead throughout. The 3M adhesive remover is a magic and made things super easy. Like @cgsheen1 said pointed side inside. Thanks all.

Has anyone used these? do you mind sharing a pic of how they fit in the door upper outer channel? https://zcardepot.com/collections/weatherstripping/products/door-upper-rubber-seal-left-right-280z?_pos=1&_sid=556251978&_ss=r&variant=19275645681777#

A bit of tape would i think prevent it from rattling etc. in my opinion.

Hi, What is recommended? this 3M tape says use it at a hidden location to make sure it doesnt damage the paint. Has anyone tried? Or should i just use the 3M double sided tape it is pretty strong for emblems. Not sure how it will hold up to the water etc. during cleans over time. Also, for front fender emblems should i apply some on the inside of the tabs too or tape on the outside is sufficient? https://www.walmart.com/ip/3M-Plastic-Emblem-and-Trim-Adhesive-03601-1-oz-Tube/16913676?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=2025&adid=2222222227716913676_117755028669_12420145346&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-306310554666&wl5=1014226&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=16913676&wl13=2025&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&&adid=2222222223716913676_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-306310554666&wl5=1014226&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=16913676&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAjwvrOpBhBdEiwAR58-3MYSLg6P6YcEGSdRseqpjcbGmkndW4gvPp85lbqxXpw8OWUcXuX_iRoCV20QAvD_BwE

Back to factory original ... light blue metallic. Next new steering and suspension and i will be back on the road. Engine runs great. Need to put back body panels next few weeks.

Yes, came out pretty nice. The Rust Kutter was great plus i did plenty of sanding but the paint looks solid. I dont drive in rain or wet anyway so should be good.

Thanks all and especially @zKars this is exactly what I was looking for. By any chance do we have any reproduction of the part 20(RH) and 21 (LH) in the picture? it is the rubber liner near the glass?
