Re: Weatherstrip and windows (front left and right including vents)

I have used soffseal as replacement for new lmc rubber that was too hard to allow door to close properly after initial adjustments were done. old (new) seals were removed and soffseals installed in their place. no prob with soffseal closing on the same doors without any adjustments made.
doors should be adjusted without the seals so they fit the opening properly as far as gaps and height compared to surrounding sheet metal. then, the fenders get adjusted to fit the doors, hood etc. then when the door seals are installed, the seals should be able to squish out as required so doors don't need to be winched closed or be re-fit after new seals installed.

I can't speak to TF trucks, but I can say I've had perfect success with Precision seals in multiple places on my AD - windows, hood, etc. (I used generic door seals). They have the best installation videos on YouTube. And of course, Summit Racing's customer service is top-notch in every respect.
