Plastic Boot Retainer back of rear seat

[luckyone]

Thanks guys for all the help on the interior water leak from air conditioner, the drain was plugged as yoou suggested.Another problem on my vert is the boot retainer that mounts on rear of rear seat, I tried the part number provided another reader but it doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions for finding this part?

Heh, you're trying to find a boot? As in the whole boot? Good luck. They are hard to come by, and when you DO find one they are usually $300 or $400. eBay and this forum are your best bets.

Is your's missing??? If so, you have no choice but to replace.If your current one is cracked, &/or no longer holds the boot lip down, try securing it (the retainer that is) to the car with some window urethane.

My retainer kept sliding off the metal flange when the boot got any wind pressure on it. I urethaned it to the flange, & voila - works like a charm.

Warning - the urethane is messy (& permanent) stuff. Be careful on your interior.

I'm the one who posted the part number. I'll go home and double check it tonight. What did dealership say? Not a valid number or it's no longer available?

[luckyone]

Dealer and Parts Direct said its not a valid OEM Number where do I order that number from since parts direct shows it as boot retainer clip (correct description) but have order on hold for now. I sure would like to find one even used so I can use my like new boot without it blowing off on the interstate. When I tried E Bay it was like pulling teeth to get people to understand the description. Oh Well, thats the problems of driving a fifteen year old car I guess.Mine is a single owner (My Wife- a little old lady from Pensacola-not pasedena- with 138,000 like new miles)

i tried to order it from nissan about 2 months ago, and they claimed it was no longer available. there was some other parts i also tried to order for quarter windows that weren't available either. but it's worth a try to just order the clip seperately to see what they say.

[madcowvert]

ok i just called my friend at nissan he said he can get it for you but you need to order it. 20.05 is the price

[luckyone]

Give me his phone number I will order today!!!!!

None of the Nissan dealers here have a clue!! Thanks a million thats one of lifes little irratations removed. Wish I could rid myself of my in-laws as easy as that> LOL

[luckyone]

luckyone, have you posted pic of your car? If not, show us your showroom ready vert.

[luckyone]

I would love to post a pic as soon as I figure out how to do it. I had all I could do to figure out how to use this computer, Ill get you guys a pic in a couple days, honest. You know this is sort of silly, all 240sx's look alike dont they? Red, sexy, and all have proud owners, (I just wish my wife would let me drive it more often)

[luckyone]

Don't even bother. It's not available anymore. I checked it last week. I posted the part number, so many people bought it I guess.

[wmdavis007]

I just ordered one. Hope it comes in, they said it was available within two to three business days to ship so lets hope it comes in (crosses fingers).

I hope you get it but if you orderd it from the dealer i don't think you be getting one my frined tried and they told him the have no more. he said the only way to get it is if the dealer has it in stock.

[wmdavis007]

CRAP!! Just got an email telling me that the item is no longer available. So they just canceled my order. Damn I should have ordered that last year when I first got the part number. Oh well...live and learn. If anyone finds a dealer that has some of these please let us know. Good luck to the others looking for one.

Nope. It can't be found in the U.S. dealerships, Nissan part depot or in Canada. This part is completely gone. Don't waste your time.

[jamesblonde82]

exactly, ive tried to order it months ago and it never came.

[Florida240sx]

Crap I lost mine in Nopi... Granted it cracked... But could of used it as a mold.
