Re: Weather stripping around doors
JJW wrote:Weatherstipping question. I've attached a picture of my old door surrond weatherstipping (on the top) and the new weatherstripping (on the bottom) supplied from oldinternationaltrucks.com. They are adamant that the one they sold me is the correct one but it doesn't even come close to fitting properly. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the proper fit?
I glued the supposed oem weatherstrip in and it didn't seal the doors at all. The noise was deafening from the leaks. Took forever to get all the weatherstrip glue from the channels after using paint thinner...ugh.
I bought a universal product called BIG D 3M WEATHERSTRIP on Ebay. Had the 3M glue strip already on it and was easy to install. It is soft rubber and sealed all the leaks. Nice quiet truck now and I can hear the radio playing. Fits the channel. Be sure to measure your channel for the proper length to order. The link below may not be long enough.
