Door gaskets

I just wanted to thank Nightmare for the info on the door seals. I had a set I bought and replaced last year but still had the wind noise. He turned me on the the mid 90's truck seals, I went and got a set from the local junk yard and they fit perfect, no glue and much better quality and no more whisle from the doors.
This is probably common knowlege here but it was blessed news to me. Again thanks Nightmare and to all the other guys here for the help over the years.
Thanks,
Mike

Did you give him "Rep Points" for the excellent help??? Always a good idea.

Re: Door gaskets

I have heard that the 90's GM door seals are a little too tight, and makes the doors harder to shut. Have you had a problem with that? What yr truck did you pull yours off of?

Re: Door gaskets

I think it was a 94 truck, and I put them on my 68. And yeah the doors are a little harder to shut now but not that hard. Nice and quiet now. I can even hear the radio now. Also I don't know how to do "Rep points", tell me how and I will. I love that guy. I just got Sirius Sat. radio for Christmas and can hear it. I am free at last...

Re: door seals.
I didn't want to mess with the glue and the salvage yards didn't have any decent looking ones so I ordered from GMCPaul's. Work great but I did have to loosen the door striker plate (?) slightly so it wouldn't be so tight.
