Rubber Seals - Door to Cab - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I called LMC today to get replacements for my door-to-cab rubber seals, and they said that they lost their supplier and don't know when they'll find another. So my question is who makes the best aftermarket door-to-cab seals? Any help would be appreciated...Casey

I bought mine from Classic Parts, I bought some from them about seven years ago and they had tiny vent holes every 8 inches, the ones I just bought from them came without the vent holes. They fit perfect though and were easy to install

Buncha vendors on here who sell just what you want. I've bought from Wes at Classic Heartbeat, and I have no complaints at all.

Dodge makes the best ones... '87-'97 Dodge Dakota, pick 'em up at your local salvage yard. You can find some nice ones for 5-10 bucks per pair. The nice thing is they are slip fit, you don't have to glue them on. Be sure to get the connector that joins them at the seam. Sometimes it falls out when you remove them. All you need is a phillips screwdriver and a prybar. You have to cut about 3" off the length...

Thanks Jocko!

I asked for SoftSeal and while I can't be 100% certain that's what the paint shop installed, the doors close like a new car but with the old car thud.

No bounce back, no second tries, no hoping they'll get more compliant over the years... so no complaints!

I just installed soft seal glue on style today. I got them from Summit. They seem to fit great so far.

Used the dodge ones myself, they work great.
