Door glass seals
Hey everybody,
I tried to do some searching on this and found some old posts, so I wondered about reviving this discussion. I bought some custom window seal kits for my 72 C20 from LMC. https://www.lmctruck.com/door-compon...and-components These don't seem to fit at all. I called LMC and they told me the pieces were 27" long, which wouldn't fit without being trimmed. Even when trimmed they don't fit properly along side the triangle vent window. Has anyone got any suggestions and advice on another brand or a way to make these fit and look good. I've got some photos below of my attempts. Thanks!

This is what I always used but it looks like they are discontinued. Maybe Classic industries just don't handle them any more. https://www.classicindustries.com/product/cr1073.html They were made in the USA by Clark Industries they were the nicest ones I could find at the time..... I know that Repops made the weatherstrips for Precision at one time but Now I'm not sure. By their web site it looks like they still make the window kits. https://www.repops.com/product-searc...yr=44&ne=0&kw= I would check with GMCPauls and see what they say. https://gmcpauls.com/ .

Re: Door glass seals
The ones from GMCPauls requires trimming. I am a week or so away from installing them.
Sorry, I don't recall if they were in a labeled wrapper or not and can't recall brand. |

Re: Door glass seals
I bought LMC first and they are crap. Bought Steele rubber. Also crap. Bought precision and they are a great fit. No trimming. Just make sure the slots inside the door are flat and not bulged out. If not flat it won't fit properly. Also as someone on the forum stated on the 72 there is a screw on the door under the wing window. You need to slightly loosen the screw to slide in the outer piece. No matter what you do they are still a real booger to install. You'll be shaking by the time you're through. The screw I mentioned is in your first photo. It's in the indentation on the door below the wing.
