interior weather seals

[hazelnut]

Im going to use NPD for most of my rubber stuff, have heard good thing about there rubber stuff. Dennis Carpenter makes thier own rubber for windshields, backglasses and weatherstriping for the doors. As far as others have said the rest is imported and not much to it because it falls apart in a coulple years.

Hello jtorres,
I just replaced all of my door rubber. I went with NPD, the fit was very good and NPD customer service is excellent.
Are you doing the vent window seals too?

[Jtorres]

I'm going to have to check out NPD. I will be replacing all rubber parts inculding the vent seals too. LMC had some good kits too.

I put LMC on my truck and they sealed so well I had trouble shutting the doors. I installed them in Summer 2009. I know LMC hasn't gotten stellar reviews but I have nothing bad to say about the weatherstripping.

Most of the rubber weather seals are manufactured by Precision Replacement Parts (http://www.prp.com/), regardless of the distributor. You can find full weatherstripping kits to fit our Bumps at many places other than the few you mentioned. O'Reilly and J.C.Whitney come to mind.

I know for a fact that the full kit J.C.Whitney sells is made by Precision because the one I bought says so. I seldom buy stuff from J.C.W., but I got this for half the normal price. I have not yet installed it, but it seems to be top quality.

When you do the vent seals, consider using screws/speed nuts instead of rivets. Much easier, and a very good seal.
Make sure to use a good drill bit on those rivets because they will "spin out" otherwise.

I've used the door weather seals from Precision and couldn't be any happier. I plan to buy a set for my 90 F250 as well. I bought them off of an Ebay auction from Denver for $32 which included shipping. I haven't used any rubber parts from LMC so I can't comment on their quality.

I've been considering skipping the usual restoration companies and going straight to a made in the USA source, Steele Rubber Products. www.steelerubber.com.

Thanks for the link! That's one for the Bump bookmark folder.

I bought all of my stuff from Carpenter. The window anti-rattle stuff was OK but the vent seals were terrible. Didn't fit right at all and I still have to put a nickle behind the latch to keep the wind noise down.
