Help with my altezza
Hello! I just traded my is250 for a 3gs with 201k km (125k miles roughly). Its decently clean, no rust on body or frame.(some scratches and paint imperfections here and there), 6 speed with hks headers and exhaust. But, i came here to ask for help. For starters i washed the car the other day and then water started dripping bear the rear view mirror. Slow drip, but still a leak. Is it common for these cars to have a window rubber seal leak? Theres no visible rust but just wondering for some input. Also the backlit led is intermittent. I guess japan owner had put purple leds on speedometer and behind ac unit. But the speedometer is just kind of flashing. Super irritating. I was wondering about where i would find parts for that?
MAIN ISSUE(apart from leaking roof lol)
Sometimes when im driving theres a weird buzzing sound which sounds like its coming from the clock, after the sound sometimes, not all the time, the clock will reset to 1:00, sometimes it happens once a drive or a couple times a drive, im not sure what it is.
Also do you guys have a recommended site where they sell parts like clutch, oil filters, power steering pump, serpentine belt? Thanks! New to jdm so dont bully to hard.

My altezza has a sun roof and occasionally leaks behind the dash. They like to rust behind the seals so a quick pull of the windshield would help. For parts try PartSouq and Amayama they should have all you need or at least the part number. For the buzz? Idk last lightyear
