GMC paul door seals are great! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have Precision seals on my truck, and my doors are a bit hard to close. If I were to swap out to these, do you think it will make a difference in the closing pressure? Thanks

If you have Precision glue on door seals and are having difficulty closing the doors I'd suspect that either the ends are butted tight causing the air to be trapped in the seal making door closure hard, or the doors need adjusting at either the hinges or door striker. The doors should close virtually if not exactly the same useing either our Glue on version by Precision or the push on version.

Do you need any modification to a stock Truck to make your Weatherstrip described above to fit?
I've got a 72 GMC that is having the Interior redone as I type, and this sounds like the way to go.

Mine are only hard to close with the windows up. If you put the window down it is like butter. Do you guys with door vents have this issue or is it just the models without? I am thinking of adding them if it fixes this issue.

Here are the stock glue on vs GMC Pauls.
First two are stock, last three are the new ones. Doors shut fine.

Yes Thank You BP68 for the intial post on these I've had the Push On version for a while now and they've been popular with many but I've never been able to get a wide customer review of them after the purchase and you intial post started one.
LOL 67 Cheby, but come on they are Push On door opening weatherstrip just hank those old ones off and put the new ones on then when you need to repair or paint something pull em off and after done just put them back on and you'll seal out all those drafts & road noise. :>)
ledzepp Thanks!! I've heard basicly the same from anyones who's ever used them and I won't use anything else myself I"M GLAD TO BE RID OF THE GLUE and its associated problems!!

VA72C10 · 01-29-2011, 08:56 PM

those look great! Thanks for sharing

DUTCHMAN · 01-30-2011, 04:03 AM

Thanks for the pictures, now I know I've got to order them and get rid of my glue on ones.

BP68 noticed that the middle of the dash is smooth. Do you leave it this way?
Show us some pictures when it's ready.

Valhalla · 01-30-2011, 04:24 AM

good stuff I will be needing these very soon

RCbowtie69 · 01-30-2011, 08:56 PM

SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

67C10BUB · 01-30-2011, 10:18 PM

Anyone have issues shutting the doors with the windows up after putting the new weather stripping on? Is this only on the 67 and 68 since they don't have door vents?

BP68 · 04-19-2011, 04:48 PM

Been away for a while. Glad I started this thread. Hope to have my truck on the road soon. Savin up for tires, picked up some wheels, getting bumpers this week. And need to fix a leaky axle seal. Then I hope to start driving around some. Interior is last phase.

**leddzepp** · 04-19-2011, 05:30 PM

took me 10 mins to install. fits like a glove. nice and tight seal. no brainer, a fantastic product.

Received mine yesterday....FAST shipping and these things are AMAZING!!!!
I am really sorry I waited so long to get these seals! They are easy to install and they seal great!

Thanks GMC Paul...you are the man!!!!

litew8 · 09-24-2011, 10:56 AM

Looks great. I know it hasn't been very long since most had installed, just curious if any have actually been in the rain since. Paul, if I were to purchase the 71' cab kit, could you tell me what is not included? Thanks

skoolbusyeller72 · 09-25-2011, 07:09 PM

I finished the interior in my truck today ,glued in new seals and the doors are hard as hell to close sooooooo i just ordered a set and the new glue in ones will hit the trash as soon as the push on set gets here ...

litew8 · 09-29-2011, 02:36 AM

anyone?

aventur1 · 01-27-2012, 11:14 AM

Just ordered a set this morning...can't wait to install them! Thanks GMC Paul
Recieved my door seals and installed them, they went on great, the only problem that I would like to mention is on a tight corner while pushing them on to fit tight the metal popped through the rubber, small area but still exposed the internal metal. Other than that they are great. Mines a weekly driver, so all is good.

aventur1 · 02-22-2012, 04:21 PM

I bought these kits, liked all of it and fit was good. The only thing I did was cut my outside window seal to short, I did not consider going past the wing division bar another 1/4 inch to seal that little area.

aventur1 · 03-12-2012, 10:54 PM

I would say just go slow and make sure it's tight push hard down to set as you go around that part keep the loose end pushing towards the part your pressing in the slot. The edges will seem so curl up as you go around corner so I used a very small screw driver to pull the lip up over the edge. Kinda hard to explain and the small loop wire inside the edgeing will tend to poke through, I just used the scew driver to lift edge and the wire will go back into the seal. You can use maybe stiff plastic so not to damage paint. It will be a little kinked at the 45 degree but as you shut the door it smooths out.
When you get to the end I cut it a little long then cut the bottom and used the extra rubber on top to tuck into where you began.
