on-door weatherstrips lmc installation?

I ordered new weatherstrips all round the car, including new vent kits, etc...

tonight I tried installing the on-door weatherstrip from LMC #38-6948 on the LH door. (nr2 in the picture)



There is no way I can find places to attach the ends? anybody ever installed these?





flipped them to see if that would be a better fit:




its sold and says suitable for my ride on LMC website:

Re: on-door weatherstrips lmc installation?

mine had them on stock...I just replicated what was on there.....And i saw a few threads doing the same.. It also makes sense though..Its flared out to create a tighter seal at the top so air doesnt get in.... I will try to take a pic tonight and post for you

Re: on-door weatherstrips lmc installation?

The inner strips were only used from 1979-1981. Your Suburban is newer I believe?

Re: on-door weatherstrips lmc installation?

my 81 silverado had those.
when i ordered the replacements a couple of years ago from LMC - they didn't have the metal ends to screw them in like yours do! just glue on.
agree on the way they are installed. metal ends flat, oriented as noted on the red truck.
Good luck!
