So today I was drove about 15 miles on the freeway in around 100-103 degree (Fahrenheit) weather. Going to my destination I had the AC running on full, but when I was about a mile away I turned it off as the needle on the car was approaching the danger zone. Coming home I had the AC off and the windows down, but the engine temperature still got rather close to the warning zone by the time I was home. I understand the WD21's are getting significantly old by today's standards, but I'm just wondering if this can be avoided? I know 100 degrees is pretty hot, but typically I think the engine runs at 200-250 degrees, so the constant flow of air should be keeping it cool. The radiator was replaced within the last year, and the coolant has been topped off, so neither of those are the issue. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Just to update my progress, I went down to my Nissan dealership, and had a replacement seal ordered from them. They only wanted around $65 for it, including the price to have it shipped from Sacramento (the dealer which had one left in stock), to Yakima. It's supposed to arrive sometime this week, so I'll post again once I've received it.

Alright I'm gonna try the Nissan dealership here in Yakima later today. Chances are they won't have anything in stock for a WD21 but you never know!

Do you mind me asking where you bought your first replacement sunroof seal? Also it's kind of off topic but also where did you buy your replacement nerf bars? Mine are rotting away.

Last night I removed my sunroof for some warm night driving, and the seal around the outside of my sunroof separated from the glass itself and broke off. I have the piece still but I'm reluctant to fix it because the rubber itself is extremely brittle due to the years of being in the weather. Is there a place to buy a new seal? Thanks
