Hey! I was pressure washing my car and Im getting a leak through my windows and sunroof, This is bad news because it is going to rain tonight heh. My question is.. Where can I get fairly cheap weatherstrips? Where is the best place to buy fiero parts online?

also, Under my air filter, where it meets the carborater (I assume?) my dad told me I need a gasket so dirt wouldnt leak up into the air filter from the bottom. My question--> I searched everywhere but couldnt find one, can someone maybe link me to one because Im not sure im even searching for the right part correctly. Thanks!

Try fierostore.com for replacement parts. But if the leaks only occurred when you pressure washed, unless it's a really, really hard rain, the leak will either not be that bad or it won't leak at all.

If you mean the gasket that goes between the bottom of the air cleaner and the can I made mine this way.

Cleaned the area really well, put a nice bead of silicone sealer where the filter sits.
Placed a piece of saran wrap over the silicone, place the filter on top.
Put the cover on the can and just pushed it down but not screwed down.
Let it cure and removed the saran wrap. Done.

Here is how I revitalized my sunroof weatherstrip and I recommend you do this occasionally to extend the life of it.

I took the sunroof out and cleaned the weatherstrip real well with soap and water and then let it dry. I then soaked the weatherstrip with Armorall and let it sit. I know there is probably a better product, but the Armorall softens the weatherstrip and makes it more flexible. This fixed mine, I hope it helps yours.
