Horizontal window seals

I'm installing my door glass and have a set of LMC horizontal window seals. Both the rubber and felt seals appear too long. Do these need to be trimmed? If so with what?

Does anyone sell these seals that fit better then the LMC junk?

Re: Horizontal window seals

Yes they need trimmed. I used tin snips.

I trim mine with tin snips too.

These are the best window felts/sweeps I have found. Made in the USA by Clark Industries, Pearcy, AR and go by the "Repops" brand.

https://www.classicindustries.com/product/cr1073.html

The only difference in the two sets is one is stainless and one is chrome plated stainless...

There may be other vendors on here that sell the same brand (I hope they post up if they do) but I think the manufacturer is pretty selective who they let distribute the product.

Re: Horizontal window seals

What LockDoc said about Repops, just put them on yesterday. I bought them from Early Classic Enterprises (earlyclassic.com), great company to deal with.
