Re: New Push-On Door Seals From Classic Heartbeat

I have had these on for a few months now and they are holding up as promised.
I took Wes's advice and used some rubber conditioner to coat the seals and ease the breaking in period.
It helped some, but my problem was due to poor door adjustment from the restoration shop.
They had not done a great job of door alignment and many other things for that matter .
After getting my truck home from the restoration shop from hell (another horror story in itself ),
I had to do some minor door adjustments when I got my truck home and out of jail .
Since these seals can be removed and replaced easily I had to use the 2x4 and hammer trick to tap in the pinch weld on two spots of the driver side.
I also had to adjust the striker slightly and like some have said on other posts/threads some adjustments are required.
My passenger door has some slight resistance but closes easily.
The drivers door took a little tweaking but does not require slamming to close anymore.
I believe every truck is different and getting the doors to cab adjusted first will result in better fitment of any type of seals.
I'm very happy with these Precision cab to door press on seals and all is good now with this and other issues
