Where to find door weatherstripping - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought mine couple of years ago from GMCPauls. At first the doors were somewhat hard to close so I had to adjust the striker out a little. After a summer they will mold to the door.

Leave a little more than needed at the bottom where the two ends meet. Maybe 1/4 inch. Mine seemed to have shrunk about that much but I think it was my fault for not pushing the corners in all the way. Overall, very pleased with them.

I bought window channel kit and seals at the same time and found out that with the cab sealed tighter it is easier to close the door slowly until there's about 6 inches left then push it faster to close it.

The OP's '72 should have a cab vent so it should close fine. That is a nice problem to have though. My cab corners provide plenty of ventilation.

Thank you much for your service.
