Aftermarket door seals- need input from people who've used them - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Fellas, I need a pair of door seals for a 73-87 truck I'm building. My dealer guy is at 45 dollars each my cost so I'm looking at using aftermarket ones to keep the budget in check.

Can anyone out there offer first hand experience with the ones from Classic Parts or similar ? Classic Parts gets 30 per pair so I'd be at a 60 dollar savings over using GM factory seals.

Fitment, thickness, softness, whatever, tell me your experience.

Not to side track this or anything, but your can order ones from the dealer? NOS or what?

Sure. GM still stocks them. I get a shop rate of cost plus 10% which makes them 45 dollars each. Your price may vary depending on your relationship with the dealer parts department.

Well, 100 percent positive reviews so far. Seems like a good option. I need to order from RockAuto this week anyway. I never thought about getting door seals from them.
