What is this seal I found?
 

I was poking around soffseal's website, I found the seal in the below link.

Is this a stock seal or is this something extra that Soffseal is selling? From what I can tell it sticks to the door itself and acts as a 2nd door seal. I'm tempted to try it as I want to cut down on any wind noise I can. Anyone here used this before, any thoughts?

I think what you found is the secondary door seals found on ?late 70's Silverado models. Maybe someone who has one could chime in as to their effectiveness.

I believe its for the 73 year models that didn't have the drip rail but fit all models 73-87.

My '78 Silverado has the seal from the factory. Still in very good condition too. It seems to help seal up the door gap because I don't have much wind noise there, just the window vents.

79 has it,sure seems quieter,I'd never seen them before

My 78 had them. I didn't replace them and I don't have any wind noise, but I put the later suburban vent window in it also.

The secondary door seals would get released and then removed depending on the economic climate or mood of the time.

Typically we would have a surge of wind noise complaints so we would throw a bunch of seals on the truck; they would last until the next wave of cost reduction initiatives when they would be removed to save money.
