Door glass rubbers and felts that fit ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Green Machine · 11-05-2006, 02:22 AM

Where can I get door glass rubbers and felts that sit on the top of the door by the glass that fit ? I got some from the same place (LMC) I got some from about 2 years ago and the design has changed. The outside pieces have rib molded at the bottom on the inside and it hits and catches on the metal under the window when rolled fully up, can't trim it very much there is metal ridge under the rubber bump.

The inside felts have this sticky tar-like crap on there backs, I can deal with that but it seems the metal prongs stapled in the felt are too big and catch the metal bottom of the window also. Just wasted 30 bucks on these, so now I need to get some that actually fit.

Anyone have any suggestions, what have you recently used ? Thanks.

Man that sucks big green. I have bought mine from kennys and lmc and have not had any problems yet. I would check with gmcpauls he could probably help. I wander if they gave you the wrong ones?

I've used a product called people's choice repops, they fit exactly as original, although I have a Jimmy and no top seal. I was amazed how nice they were. My only problem was, they came with a piece of white foam matrl. and I can't figure out were that is supposed to go, it's still sitting on my work bench! J

Not sure what it is for,it was about 2 feet long, about the lenght of the fuzzy strip and rubber strip that hold the window from rattling in the door. It is also perforated so you can tear sections off neatly. It has been in both of my kits, but who knows..... J.

Yes, I got a set from Classic Industries and they were the Peoples Choice brand that the above post mentions. They fit well, though they were slightly too long and I had to trim them a bit. Better too much than not enough!

I've ordered some from both Brothers and LMC. LMC ones had wimpy clips, and both sets needed trimming on the edges. I didn't notice a ridge interfering with the window. Mine look like this... little blurry but you get the idea:

I agree all I have used are too long. I just trim them with a pair of bolt cutters. Works good and looks the same as factory cuts.
