Is your Sunroof Weatherstripping falling apart or in need of replacement? Well since Nissan no longer sells the sunroof weatherstripping, and finding it new is pretty hard, I've been looking long and hard for this item. After searching for a while, I talked to my Uncle (who owns a restoration shop and deals with these kinds of things). We found the solution!

On the main page if you click, Shop Online > Specialty Extrusions, the first Item on the list Part #: 70-2860-52, or under Windshield and Back Glass.
Its 32.00$ plus shipping and you only need 10 of the 15ft that's supplied. The weatherstripping fits perfectly but you will have to cut it to size. It looks OEM also. Note: You also need to get some Weatherstripping Adhesive. In the next day or so I will try to have pictures of my sunroof with it being used. I'm still in the process of putting together.

So i got the weatherstripping on, but 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive takes forever to dry, so i gotta wait awhile. On to some pics tho. Mind you the brackets that the sunroof swivels on arent put on yet, im just waiting for the Adhesive to dry.

Sits nicely going around the edges.

Im probably going to have to cut some of that section off to make the bracket stay on, because it seems as if the brackets have there own gaskets. When it dries I'll figure something out.
