Re: Do these pics look like correct door weatherstrip?
They "look" like the correct door weatherstrip, but the bulb seems kind of big and the area that pinches the metal flange seems kind of small.

They are the ones Vick's sells that do both doors for about $42. Probably not the best but I want to make sure they are ok before I buy them. Thanks Matt!

No wonder its so cheap. It will "work" but I think "the other vendor's" door weather stripping is better. However, $56 instead.
Re: Do these pics look like correct door weatherstrip?
But I think the $56 from the other vendor only does one door. Vicks does 2 doors.manoa matt wrote:No wonder its so cheap. It will "work" but I think "the other vendor's" door weather stripping is better. However, $56 instead.

I believe the $56 does the two doors. I have used that trim a couple of times and it works well. I might be a bit concerned with the soft round tube type if the moulding sticks to the door for any reason,looks a bit fragile and might tear easily.

What vendor has them for $56 that does both sides? IAP has them for $36 one side only.narfire wrote:I believe the $56 does the two doors. I have used that trim a couple of times and it works well.

Ken I think the price is $28 each side = $56
Re: Do these pics look like correct door weatherstrip?
Ok, that is better. Wish I knew it was better than Vicks. The pic on IAP web site is not that good. Have you seen their door weatherstrip? I agree the stuff from Vicks look really cheap.manoa matt wrote:Ken I think the price is $28 each side = $56

Re: Do these pics look like correct door weatherstrip?
windlace comes in 2 different styles. the all rubber like your picture and then one with vinyl covered clip. dont know what the suppliers sell. i go to my local upholstery supply house or boat place and buy it by the foot.
Re: Do these pics look like correct door weatherstrip?
Matt, so your weatherstrip looks different than the one in the pic I posted? You like the IAP rubber better? If so, I trust your judgment since you have helped me with parts.manoa matt wrote:"The pic on IAP web site is not that good. Have you seen their door weatherstrip?"

You don't need to send pics, I ordered a pair from IAP. They gave me a wholesale discount so they were only $19.88 each. Thanks!
