Door Weather Stripping 47 1/2 Ton

Quick question on the Door Weather Stripping 47 1/2 Ton. Has anyone on here done this before and what were the results?
My cab is solid and the doors close great, but I can see day-light through the back part when driving, and get some severe road noise.
Looking for a fix for this problem, the bottom door seals are original and in excellent condition, very flexible and complete.
Its the daylight I'm wanting to get rid of on the doors where they latch on the cab.
Any good suggestions that have worked?

Macs & Carpenter both sell the door seals for the 42-47 doors. Make sure you get the good 3M weatherstripping adhesive to install it. The adhesive sets pretty fast. Make sure it is aligned, slam the door and let it go for a day or 2. I can take a pict if you want.

Thanks for the reply, but both my door seals which are at the bottom are in real decent condition.
If you are refering to the rubber around the doors, or if its placed on the cab itself I sure would be interested in some pics if you wouldn't mind.
Please let me know whether the rubber is on the door surround, or is it on the Cab, thanks again for the reply.

Here are some shots of the door weatherstripping....





And with the door closed (high contrast so the seam sticks out)



Hope they help!
