Ordered mine yesterday. I tried the glue-on version from Classic Parts and it was a joke. The 3M glue stuck to the door frame but would not stick to the rubber. Next I tried GMC Paul. His parts are designed and marketed for 67-72 trucks. These require no glue and appear much closer to original. However, they did not fit quite good enough. I had to adjust the latch mechanisms nearly all the way out to allow the doors to latch - but slamming the doors was now a requirement. Finally, a friend purchased a set of door gaskets from GMC Paul as well as Steele Rubber and was not pleased with either.
