Friggin B-pillar pins!

[markuszoom5]

My wife opened the right sliding door yesterday and leaned on the vertical rubber seal and POP!!! 2 pins fly out. They were broken of course. I was mad as hell but kept it quiet. Got online and ordered 25 pieces from eBay for $13 including shipping. Should get them next week. I never popped even one out. She popped 2 out at once. What the heck? Oh well I will get them soon. 25 at that, so my wife can pop awa all she wants...

Got a link to where you found them on eBay? I need a few boxes of 25 myself... I keep losing them.

You're awesome. Thank you so much! Ordering a bag...

Waiting on the shipment:..

Hey phunky.buddha, did you order your 25 pack yet? I am waiting on mine, should come this week. So excited. No more flapping rubber seal!

 

[phunky.buddha]

Yup, got my shipment notification on Sunday night.

Got them finally today...

Got the 25 pack of pins today and popped all the missing ones in. I was missing 3 of them. They went in perfectly. They do not seem to be Mazda brand but they look exactly the same and I can't tell the difference. I am very happy. I have 22 more hahaha. Anybody need some. $2/pin LOL. That is about what the dealer charges.

 

[phunky.buddha]

Yeah, Mazda is REALLY proud of their fasteners. Honda too.

Are these the pins for the rear sliding door seal (see pic)? I've been missing 3 since day one but haven't had any new ones fall off. If yes, anyone want to loan me 3. Will send them back when I'm done with the car

 

[markuszoom5]

I can't "loan" you any, but if you care about the car you will order some. They are not that expensive. Here are some links to reliable ordering sites. You get a 25 pack:

I ordered from the company's ebay store, but I think it's all the same store, when I look at the package. It's all the "clipsandfasteners" store.

 

[phunky.buddha]

Still haven't gotten mine yet.

 

[Robotazky]

Good info. Thanks for posting the ebay link.

Nice! I have a few missing on both sides. Thanks!!!

 

[phunky.buddha]

Oh, so I did get mine last week- they clipped in and look just like factory. I stashed the box in the rear compartment in the side of the trunk for easy access when I lose another clip.

 

[markuszoom5]

You won't if people don't grab the rubber piece or put pressure on it.

I need a sign that says do not touch the b-pillar seal. I always wondered why it's called the b-pillar?

 

[phunky.buddha]

Because it's rear of the A pillar? A pillar = vertical post at the windshield, B = rear of front door, C = rear of back door, D = back of car.

They cost over $3usd at the Dealer... I got the Part number, but all the pieces I saw for sale on the web all looked too big, so I just got three from the dealer to make my wife happy. If any more break, I'll be ordering a bag of them from somewhere.
