Re: Door Seal Opinions Please

Related to the Civic door seal, does anyone know what trimming is necessary to use the stock stainless threshold trim (door sill plate, unsure of proper name)?

There was no trimming at all. They fit the entire door frame - all the way around - perfectly.

They fit under the stainless threshold as well (if equipped) without trimming?

Sorry, I will let you know this weekend. I have a new set coming and will install them to see. I don't see a problem, but than again, you never know.

I used GMC Paul's on my 68 and was very pleased with them. My doors shut great and both lock like they are suppose to. Getting the doors adjusted and installing new latches is the key to a good shutting door!

After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

My son and I just installed a set of GMC Paul's push on style on his 86 K10 and they work perfectly.
I did the glue on deal on the 68 and what a pia....they work fine but time consuming and messy imho.

Here is my video of the door shutting with new press on seals from precision.
New latches and good door adjustment is key here I think.

Re: Door Seal Opinions Please

Just an FYI for anyone who is thinking about installing the altman easy latches as well. The precision pinch on will not work. The pressure with the door shut is ridiculous. You need 4 large peoples thumbs to open the door handle. And my 72 has the vent, and the precision pinch on do have the holes drilled in that relieve pressure.

I'm going to the yard this weekend in hopes to find some honda seals.
