Vent weatherstrip comparison

[Precision Parts]

Hey Folks,

Wanted to add this new video to explain how to clearly spot the difference between the 1 piece and 2 piece vent weathersrips for 81-87(91) Pickup (Blazer/Suburban)

Many people get confused about this because GM didn't make any clear distinction between the two and I still get plenty of calls about it.

I hope this clears this up so that you can purchase the correct version.

So will one seal better than the other?

Hey Neighbor (Snohomish)

I don't believe there's really any performance difference when comparing the two styles. You must, however, buy the correct version for the assembly that you have. In other words, do not put the one piece weatherstrip into the assembly that originally held the two piece style. Many people on this forum have made that mistake and have been upset with the results...to then realize that they have to re-do the install.

Thanks for the kind words and nice job on going in with both feet and drilling out all the rivets.

PM me some good pictures of your truck and I'll post them on our Facebook page!

By reading this thread I found out I installed the wrong ones. I went to your website,put in the information for my truck and only one part # for vent window weatherstrip came up so I ordered and installed them.

I think it is great that you started this thread here. It also needs to be mentioned on your web site when people are ordering online.
