Best Weatherstrip for Blazers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Guys, what is the best Brand / Manufacturer to use for Weatherstrip for these Blazers. Aftermarket, I'm not probably going to try and source out a full set of GM NOS.

So far all I have replaced is the window to top seal. They dont have the holes pre-maid for the plastic t's. I still have some gaps. I ordered from 2 diff places and got the same part, even though one said it did have the holes in it. LMC first, then some other place.

I'm now working on my door to a-post. I need the screw size. Looks so far that the part will fit fine, will need some weatherstrip adhesive. These are from LMC.

I got Mine from Lmc. I still Need to put them in though. I got the front a pillar seal from a guy on eBay. Can't rember brand though. Fit good. I heard gmc Paul's stuff Fits Better Than other restoration parts places.

LMC's are made in China. Nuff said.

Then what are some brands that are made in the USA? I would rather support our country even if the price is a few bucks higher.

Precision brand W/S is the best. GMCPaul and Classicheartbeat carry it.

Not sure where brothers trucks gets there's but they are running a spring sale right now. I'd call or research online and see
Where they are Made and also price.

If NOS isn't an option I'd call Wes Hepp at Classic Heartbeat or contact GMC Paul...

NOS is always an option but have to pick and choose where I spend the $. Top will never be on the truck.
If aftermarket is the push on or glue on better route to go?

I've used Softseal with good results. Not sure how it stacks up against Precision.

I've used the push on with good results on two pickups now. Not sure this is an option for the Blazer door seals as they have that integrated "cap" at the leading edge where it meets the top....don't they?

Dale99 · 04-08-2014, 09:59 PM

They do have a cap that screws on. I just installed one that is a slip over. Still had to use a few spots of glue to keep it in place.
