Door weatherstrip?
Hello All,
I've got an interesting problem. You see when I got my truck there were and still are lots of unfinished items. One of those was it had no weather-strip around the door openings, however the truck did come with some parts, and new weather-strip for both doors was included. Yesterday I installed the new weather-strip on the drivers side opening. This morning before going to work I went out to the garage to see if the glue had dried and things looked. Looks wise I love it, but it's all I can do to shut the door. Is this typical? Will it get better? Did I have the wrong weather-stripping? Thanks, Tim |

Re: Door weatherstrip?
Well, the weather-stripping I'm talking about has a channel that wraps around the sharp edge of the door opening. Not the door. The stuff seems to be too thick, because the door is very hard to close now. I don't really no what else to say. I'll try to post some pictures tonight.

Re: Door weatherstrip?
Hey I found this picture on ebay. This is not my truck, but it is the very same weather-stripping. Maybe this will help.
Thanks, Tim |

Re: Door weatherstrip?
Its Normal for new weatherstripping. One you have to cut a small v shape under the sill plate to allow air to escape. The molding will squish down after a a while. You can adjust your door to get it to close easier in the mean time. The molding is actually available at most auto parts stores also. It is a real common universal type.

Re: Door weatherstrip?
Hi folks, My panel has weatherstriping on the doors and frames, is this standard or would it have only had one or the other? Steve.
