Weatherstrip Rubber Kits


Recommended Posts

I used the Precision door seals on mine in the past year and they fit perfectly. It took a couple days in the heat for them to compress enough for the doors to close easily, however. My only complaint was the price - which was quite a bit more than the generic rubber seals from Pep Boys et al.

I had a source for cheap seals to adapt but I went with another route.

I went to a junkyard, picked up some rubber seals from a Renault Twingo (not common in the states, I know :). For those who don't know the car, it is a small sedan with a lot of round shapes, the weatherstrip does not have any corner. It makes it aesy to install.

 

A Renault Twingo, there's over 1,000,000 of those here in France....

Moreover, it is thicker uncompressed and thinner when compressed => it should seal the door very well :)

There's no need for glue neither, there is a metal rail with need to be clamped instead.

 

I'm sure there're other car in the US that might fit... Dodge Neon or Minivan maybe.

Lenght is important too! The one I've got was longer than required, you just have to cut them to adjust.

It cost me 20€ ;) it fits perfect, it looks even better than the kit I had before.

 

Oh and btw, I don't have to feeling the doors will fall apart each time I close them anymore.
