Inside door seal channel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, I took off the drivers side inside door panel on my truck, it has doors from a '72, to replace some parts inside the door and line with sound deadener. The LMC book shows a foam seal (2 sided foam sticky tape) that goes on the door between the door and the panel.

There was not a foam seal when I took off the panel, but there was a plastic bag sheet glued more to the inside of that channel.

Does the foam seal go in this channel? Thanks for any help.

The foam strip would go there. The strip is very necessary for the 67-71metal panels but I have not seen it on the 72 doors which have molded plastic panels. I am not sure if the factory put the strips on or not but it would not hurt to stick the strips on.
