Better than the originals....,
July 18, 2009
By Georgiadigger
from GEORGIA
|
Pros: Nicer than the original ones...
Cons: Need short general instructions
"Nice thick replacements. I had to trim them slightly so clips would line up. General instructions would have been nice but overall I'm very satisfied."

Nice weatherstripping!,
June 17, 2009
By chevytruckfixer

Pros: Good looking, strong, functional.
Cons: none really, make sure you dont bend 'em.
"This product worked out fine for me. Works good so far, i really can't complain. So nice to have new ones instead of the crumbling lousy mess that so many of the 73-87 GM trucks have. An excellent replacement."

Not A Custom Fit!,
June 17, 2009
By BigBetBarry

Pros: Price
Cons: No replacement clips, no instructions, no custom fit.
"1991 Chevrolet Suburban. The picture on the web page shows the weather stripping that was the origional equipment on the vehicle. What you get is two flat pieces of molding, one for the inner and one for the outer. The door on the Suburban is curved, hence the picure of the molding on the web site.I will give you what I have figured out in the event you are brave enough to tackle this. The door needs to be disassembled. The the clips on the outer stripping cannot be reused, they break. The replacement weather stripping has tabs that will fit over the door flange. The replacement weather stripping must be cut to as close to the shape of the door you can get using a hacksaw and a razor blade. Stretch the replacement stripping useing the hande of a pliers and it will go on the door easier. After you have the replacement strip formed rough up the door surface and the inside and the tabs of the replacement stipping and use RTV silicon to adhere the stripping to the door. For the inner stripping you will need to get the five clips out of the old weather stripping. Not an easy task. Use a cable cutter to trim arround the clip. Put a screw driver between the clip and the old weather stripping and bend the old weather stripping up to the point you can cut the remaining piece in the center with the cable cutters then work the clip loose. There are five clips. This will take some time. When complete bend the clip points back out again so they are strait. The the replacement weather stipping and form it to the door as best you can. Next hold the new weather stipping up to the door and mark it with a permanent marker where the weld spots are on the top of the door pannel. Next mark a line with an awl 3/8 inch up from the bottom of the replacement weather stipping on the rubber side. Place the middle of the clip centered with the line you drew with the permanent marker in the previous step. Drag the clip strait down so the points will make an intersecting line with the line you created with the awl. Drill two 1/8 inch holes at the intersect point. Put the clip in and force it through the holes with a needle nosed pliers. Bend the clip point over with the pliers to fasten the clip in the weather stripping. When all of the clips are on, install the weather stripping on the interior door pannel you took off. Should pop right on. Install the interior pannel into the door and reassemble. Hope this helps. It is a very time consuming task to install these things. Good Luck."

Great value!!,
February 5, 2009
By gmcman

Pros: good value, pretty simple to install
Cons: not exact fit, no instructions
"Great price! Alot less expensive than OEM! Even though no instructions came with them, they are not that difficult to install. Just have some patience on hand! The clips on these didnt quite line up with the mounting holes on the door, but didnt pose much problem. A tip though..your window will be VERY hard to roll up and down after installing these, so take a day and spray soapy water on both sides of the window and crank it up and down quite a bit. It will loosen up and become easier the more you use it."

"Exactly what I needed; a perfect replacement at 10% of the manufacturer's quote. Extremely fast service and conscientious follow-up. Wish other businesses would do the same.
Thanks, JC Whitney.
I will certainly be a returning customer."
