Window sweeps and vent window seals recommendation? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I see these all over the place in price, is there a favorite or brand to avoid? I see rockauto.com sells a Norwood brand but I am not familiar with it. Unfortunately money is an object so I would like something somewhat price conscious unless i am sacrificing a lot of quality.

Classic Heartbeat or GMC Pauls. Get good stuff the first time and do the job once.

are you putting the sweeps on original doors or repops.....if repops, be aware that the fit is terrible....the gap seems to be a bit wider than original doors, so the sweeps don't touch the windows....just and FYI....

I agree with the above post those 2 board vendors could help ya out

Original doors, and thanks for the advice/recommendations.

I did an extensive search on the vent window channel and that sounds like a LOT of fun, can't wait to tackle that. Luckily its summer and I don't ever need the windows rolled up!
