Mazda Parts Support

[tom]

Just picked up a 92 Protege with 60K miles and looking to replace many of the door seals and window sweeps. Any idea if Mazda still supports parts for the First gen proteges?
My other "Project Car" is a Shelby GLHS and dodge abandoned them years ago...All parts are NS1.
I'm hoping I can still get some of the trim parts I need. Anyone tried lately?

I believe dealerships still have a pretty good selection of 1st gen Protege parts - through the dealership my dad and I work for we've ordered tons of parts for my '94, and they have them - even if they give us wrong parts and we have to wait forever for stupid crap like a passenger side splash gaurd. But that's because of the union strike that ran from Aug. 1st to Oct. 16, I was laid off at the end of the 16th(a Saturday) and called back Monday the 18th because Fusz screwed up and had no nighttime car preps, but I had to adopt my Protege that night, and even though I went into work straight from the Honda dealership, check engine light on and poorly balanced tires, at 8:30pm, I ended up leaving at 9:10 because there was nothing to do. And low and behold, me, the kid they claim to be thier best car prep ever and a hard worker, was laid off again yesterday, and there's again no night porters. The parts dept. is way screwed up even though the same guys are working there, they have my 2 front speakers after they gave me the wrong ones, but they don't know which box they are in and are too jammed to look. I haven't given them a dime for the hundreds of dollars of parts I got and installed.(to name a few - clutch, brake pads, locks and key blanks(haven't been installed yet), exhaust gaskets, belts, valve cover gasket, front speakers, 2 new tires(my dad orders through the Mazda tire program and gets a good discount, $37.50 each for pretty good tires), etc.)

Anyway, most parts should be available and orderable, but if you're in STL you might get the wrong parts.
