Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
I'm really glad this Honda option is helping so many people out.
I just installed a set of Precision seals (from GMC Pauls mid last year) on my 72 and they worked very well. I still have a very small amount of door and front quarter adjustments to do, but I don't see the seals getting tight and requiring the slamming of the doors. I just wanted to add this so that soon-to-be seal installers don't think this is the only route. It might be trial and error, but I got it the first time with Precision seals. Note: My truck had the rockers, cab corners, and bits of the front pillar and floor cut out and replaced, if that really matters.

My entire floorpan was a Dynacorn welded in as well as Rockers , cab corners and aftermarket doors both sides. I wanted to get the seals from GMC Pauls but they are not shipping to Canada these days as are a lot of US based suppliers. |

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
In regards to having to slam your door after installing new weather strip, if you look in
Chevrolet Motor division 1972 series 10 - 30 truck chassis service manual, Section 1B at body, Page 1-13 fig 35. It shows cutting a v notch in the weather striping at the bottom to allow air to escape, which lets the door close easier. It does help when using NOS or LMC weather strip. Good luck. Ken |

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
Just curious, as it's not been stated outright... Are the Honda seals push-on, and therefore easy to pull out of a wreck at the pull-a-part?
I have the 'new version' Precision seals from GMCPaul's and after doing the Driver's door, I'm ready to toss them... I have to slam the crap out of the door to close it. Supposedly you can cut a wedge on each side of the bulbous part where they meet under the sill plate for the air to escape.. I'll try that but not hopeful. Makes me wonder why I tried to fix something that wasn't broke... Door closed fine with the worn factory seals... Local yards seem to have some of the right Hondas and can't beat the price at $7 each... Probably take a ride to one this week...

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
Yep, the Honda seals are push-on style. Easy on or off.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
I got the honda seal in and it does work better then the precision seal the door seems to close easier but the bottom seems to be too long looks like I have to cut it make it fit. Has anyone had to cut it? Mine truck is a 67 and body shop filled in the groove not sure why I think I'm going to cut the floor pan groove back in so the door seals right still won't fix the door seal being too long.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
Just attempted to order one from the local Honda dealer here in Canada and he said it was backordered without an estimate of delivery :-)
GM owners must be buying them up |

Hondapartsdirect.com is your friend.
I had Precisions, had to slam the crap out of both doors. Took them out and put brand new Hondas on both doors. Soooo much nicer.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
I trimmed the lip off with a knife. Took a while and some real patience but it turned out nice. These are unreal nice to close the door with compared to others.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
If you have to cut it to fit you got the wrong ones. You don’t have to trim the “lip” off for them to fit properly, only for aesthetics. I left them on, didn’t bother me.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
I also have the honda weatherstrips and am very happy with them. When I purchased them about 6 months ago, they were backordered for one side. I don't remember which. They sent the side they had in stock. It fit both sides of the truck equally well, so I canceled the backordered side and ordered another of the side that was in stock.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
For some reason my body shop man filled in the gap at the bottom of the door where the weather stripping is suppose to go in that channel, so I had to cut it open again. With the Honda weather-strip at first I had a loop in it I was thinking needed to cut it. I decided to remove it in both directions and inch by inch push it over the door jam lip. It fits perfect no cutting needed believe me my door jam is the worst because my rocker was replaced and installed by myself who had no clue what I was doing. I have to agree the Honda fits perfect no glue required door closes now.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
So I'm in the process of taking a 04 Tahoe apart for the base of my C10 and it made me wonder about the door seals. I pulled the drivers side off and it fits quite nicely on the C10. I'll have to cut off a bit on the bottom but it comes cut anyway. Door seems to close nicely with a nice tight seal. Seems like a win to me.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
I was lucky enough to score a pair of 2010 (2dr) Honda Civic Door Seals
My question is what to do with the upper corner piece (it’s just kind of an extra piece)? Do I just put it in the lower front, or carefully trim it off? |

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
I must be the exception here. Got a pair of the Honda seals from the junkyard, but they were grey (no big deal) and didn't fit flush on the inside of the cab.
Ended up getting these, which push-on tight and stay on. They are awesome! Precision DWP 1112 67 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pqp-dwp-1112-67
