Glue on or push on door rubber

Getting ready to order a rubber kit from GMC Pauls. Wondering which door rubber is better for shutting the door. I have now push on rubber and and wondering if glue on might be a little thinner and easier to close the door

Re: Glue on or push on door rubber

I tried glue on but as firedemon said, total PITA... i went with a set from the junkyard from a van, cut to size... had the same tightness issue for a year but after sitting for a while they aren't too bad.

Re: Glue on or push on door rubber

I will not use the glue on door seals any more. Some people use the new style push on door seals. Others use Dakota or Honda door seals. I tried the push on door style from Brothers, but I had to slam my doors to get them to shut properly. I bought the Honda Civic seals and my doors shut much better. There's info on this thread link.

Re: Glue on or push on door rubber

I’ve used all kinds; push on, glue on, Dodge Dakota seals, and the civic seals. The civic seals win out in my book. Put them on three different trucks and they all shut perfectly without slamming.

Re: Glue on or push on door rubber

I put precision push ons on my K20 last week. I’m happy with them. The mitre at the front upper corner is a nice touch. I don’t have to slam the doors but you do have to push on the handles firmly as you close the door to get them to latch if that makes sense.

Re: Glue on or push on door rubber

The glue on was a disaster for me.
Push on are nice, but my passenger side is always off by the latch.

Re: Glue on or push on door rubber

Also don't forget to put a v notch in the ends of the rubbers to let some aie escape when you shut the door,I have seen so many that were glued at the ends with no relief for air escape,so the air trapped inside will pressurize the rubber and won!t let you shut the door without slamming it,just my 3 cents

That could help, easier to compress the bulb seal.
