S-10 door rubber review time - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

boundstaffpress · 02-03-2006, 11:09 AM

I know several of you replaced your door seals with s-10 rubbers. Do you still like them? Have they flattened out so your doors close easily yet? Would you still recomend them?

I'm ready to do this, and just want an update on information.

mocwon · 02-03-2006, 11:39 AM

No regrets at all. They seal great and are a snap (literally) to install

yank · 02-03-2006, 12:09 PM

Mine have been on about 2 weeks and I'm still slamming the sh!t out of the doors. Once I get my truck painted, which will be a while, I might put the original style back on if it has not gotting to my liking. But they do seal up very well. JMO

Putter · 02-03-2006, 03:41 PM

I still have to shut mine FIRMLY, but I really like the NO-GLUE aspect of it. I remember putting on new glue-on ones before and had to slam those too, so....

Frizzle Fry · 02-03-2006, 05:40 PM

What year range s-10? Do they have corners?

Putter · 02-03-2006, 05:50 PM

no corners....just bend them to fit.

redhead69 · 02-03-2006, 05:50 PM

I've got them installed and hope to hell they loosen up! Its been about a month, and so far I've got to 1) shut by hand to the first click then 2) push with my hip and most my fat a#% weight to get the second click. I've adjusted the latch and all...

No corners.. one pcs

GruntyPants · 02-03-2006, 06:59 PM

What year S-10 should I specify when ordering?

powell72 · 02-03-2006, 10:58 PM

Have had mine in about a week, getting easier to shut the doors.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-03-2006, 11:46 PM

Can someone post some pictures of the seals with them installed?

Rob

QKENUF4U · 02-04-2006, 12:04 AM

had them in about a week so far. have to give it a good pull to shut them all the way but they are TIGHT and i like that. im betting when the heat hits they will soften up and get better. no regrets and i dont think i would ever mess around with the stock ones (no glueing crap booooo

)

**53burb** · 02-04-2006, 03:05 AM

I won't be doing this for awhile, but would these work on Suburban doors???

71swb4x4 · 02-04-2006, 03:38 AM

These are the only pictures I have. My truck has left me

GMC Pauls list the ones that you need. They list them as push on weatherstripping for 67-72 Chevy pickups.

**Yukon Jack** · 02-06-2006, 11:13 AM

Mine have been installed since late September, still require a firm slam, but I'm happy with them.

Frizzle Fry · 02-06-2006, 12:24 PM

Just a though here: Anyone remember the rear hatch latch on the 3rd gen Camaros (maybe 4th too)? It would latch with one click then "suck in" electrically so you didn't have to slam it. Seems like something like that would work very well here.

Does anyone know of any other cars that use this type of latch? I'd like to try it on my '61

boundstaffpress · 02-06-2006, 12:29 PM

Buick, Olds, Caddilac had truck feature like this as well, but I don't know that trunk latches have the same durablity as door latches. May be a saftey issue.

The newer dodge caravans have them on the rear sliding doors. shut them to the first click, then the get "sucked" in.

Lets say I was to go junkyarding and get a "freebie" set. What year S-10 did these come off of?

Myself · 02-06-2006, 01:02 PM

It would be 82-93 S-10 and 2 dr Blazer they are all the same.

72MARIO · 02-06-2006, 05:57 PM

Anyone here tried silicone spray on the seals to loosen them up ?

I had a hard time getting my doors to close nice using 67-72 seals. With the silicone spray they doors now close nice and easy.

chevybill · 02-06-2006, 10:05 PM

How do these s-10 gaskets attach to the door? Do you drill holes for plastic pegs to snap into? If no glue is used then how is the gaskets held in place?

turbojunker · 02-06-2006, 10:49 PM

they don't attach to the door at all.

There is a very good chance that they will be too short. They come from the factory with about 6 extra inches, but on our trucks it's only 2 or so. I remember reading on the board that someone got some from the junkyard and they were a couple inches too short. Doesn't hurt to try though.

QKENUF4U · 02-06-2006, 11:24 PM

got mine and they where the EXACT length they needed to be. NO CUTTING !! love em and will never use stock glue on crap. lol

yank · 02-07-2006, 09:23 AM

I got mine from gmcpaul and had to cut about an inch off of mine
