Where to find door weatherstripping
 
I am overseas and need door gaskets for my 72. I read a few posts about the style GMC Pauls sells but they won't ship to military APO so I need to find another source. Who makes/sells them?

Maybe Wes at Classic Heartbeat will hook you up.

I'd try Wes. I believe he sells the same ones GMCPaul does. They clip on, no gluing, awesome part.

If yu are stuck and need them, mid 90's I believe Dodge Dakota will work from an auto wrecker. Might be just as hard to find over there though..

The ones GMCpauls carries which are the BEST... are made by precision.

Thanks guys, I was on the road and just got home. I'll track some down from Precision.

Don, thanks for the offer but I have to make an order for other stuff as well.

Merry Christmas guys.

I've heard stuff from 99 up full silverado-suburban clip right in and are quite a bit nicer than stock. They have the corner molded in and are a little longer so all you have to do is trim them to fit.

I bought mine couple of years ago from GMCPauls. At first the doors were somewhat hard to close so I had to adjust the striker out a little. After a summer they will mold to the door.

Leave a little more than needed at the bottom where the two ends meet. Maybe 1/4 inch. Mine seemed to have shrunk about that much but I think it was my fault for not pushing the corners in all the way. Overall, very pleased with them.

I bought window channel kit and seals at the same time and found out that with the cab sealed tighter it is easier to close the door slowly until there's about 6 inches left then push it faster to close it.

The OP's '72 should have a cab vent so it should close fine. That is a nice problem to have though. My cab corners provide plenty of ventilation.



Thank you much for your service.

I just bought weatherstrip from GMCPaul and it is made by "Precision" but it does not just clip on, absolutely needs glue.

Did I order the wrong part?
