Door Seal Procurement and Acquisition (Best source and supplier)?

[AuroraGirl]

I would still like photos, but if you want a cheap route, get some silicone grease from 3m in a jar and get some fishing line(I think thats what he used)

Seals I am replacing...first two are barn door seal and the last is driver door seal. Flat and not supple anymore. They are not too pricey, so it can't hurt. Also looking into evap canister replacement as well.

A little late to the game but Precision brand weatherstripping is my go-to. I used Steele on the front doors of my Suburban (because Precision was not available at the time) and I'm not impressed. It comes too short, I prefer a cut to fit...and didn't seal as well as the Precision. I ended up adding some 3/8 round to the Steele to get it to seal better around the front curve of the door.

Precision can be had at Classic Parts out of Kansas City.

I bought the cargo door seal from OC Autocarpets. I think it was Precision branded weather stripping worked great wasn't' expensive. LMC truck has almost all the weather stripping on the truck. I have ordered a many things from LMC and unfortunately not all of it is quality stuff. Of the weather stripping that was purchased from them, only had trouble with the belt moldings. Did all the rubber on a Tahoe that was repainted earlier this year. The way their catalog is done, it is hard to tell where it's sourced from. In a lot of cases they're the only game in town.

I have been searching with little success. I want to replace my D/S front door seal and the two rear door seals. Where are you guys finding the best supplier for the seals? I get exhaust smell through the rear doors and am guessing the seals are toast. It isn't terrible, but over time, my stuff back there smells like the 70s LOL. Thanks for your help!

Got mine at LMC Truck for my single cab ‘88. Fit well and have the steel strip through it, had to cut with hacksaw to keep it tidy.

Not too late at all. I haven't purchased yet and after reading this, I am glad I have waited.

Anyone have input on those photos? The seals definitely seem worn and flat to me.

they seem like seals that are older than me (1998) so yes
My F150 has the same thing although the seals are more squished in spots where the flange was distorted so it put more pressure in places than others
