A better window wipe/seal??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

IndyRich · 07-09-2010, 02:09 AM

I have a new set of window wipes/seals from LMC. The interior felt side is great....great fit, great felt against the window. HOWEVER, on the outside of the window I do NOT like the design. It is too long and it is only rubber curved down toward the glass. I would like the seal to overlap onto the outside of the door like an 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch, as well as the seal turned up toward the top of the door with felt on the window side.

Does anyone know of an aftermarket set like this? Or something from another truck that will work??

Would love some suggestions!!

All my seals I had to trim to fit just right. Had to clip a smidgen of length, and razor blade shave the width a hair.
Out of the box, they bow and didn't wipe the window.
It was a major PITA to get it right for my situation.
In my case it was definitely not a plug and play swap.
I also used a flexible black silicon to fill the tip area to add an extra seal.

In my experience, only NOS fits correctly.

Classic Heartbeat has some pretty good ones. I had the LMC ones before and they were pretty much trash.
