Door weatherstrip choices - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking for the best fit and function weatherstrip for the doors of the 1970 blazer. I am changing all rubber, window sweeps inside door rubber, door opening rubber...you know the drill. I have been told the new window sweeps do not work well but I don't know. Who sells them and what brand if any should I get? Thanks bigdon

I don't believe there is more than one brand. There aren't enough blazers out there to support more than one brand. Pick your favorite vendor and place the order.

There is more then one brand or at least version. I bought a pair from the Truck Shop a few years back for my Jimmy , bought another set recently for my Blazer off of ebay and it was Softseal brand which looks and feels way better then the ones I got from the Truck Shop. Best part of it all is I bought one and they sent me two pairs so I am going to put Softseal on both trucks. Only problem I have now with the ones I installed on my Blazer is that I have to slam the door big time to get it to close all the way, and its been a few months since installing it.

Very typical of Soff Seal, not very soft. I use and sell Metro brand and have never had a problem.

I have found some seals for a previous build at www.steelerubber.com, they worked well for my avatar not sure about the Blazers

I just replaced mine on my 72 Blazer. I ordered them from LMC. Not to hard, and they work well.
