Door Seal Options
Plenty of threads on this topic I'm sure, but I figured I'd add to the chaos..
I'm getting to the point of needing to add the seals to my '63 doors. I've read horror stories about this.
Are there any options (that work) out there instead of the repop seals that LMC, etc are selling? It seems like none of those really fit right and doors won't close.
I'm wondering of some generic seals could do the job and still let the doors close correctly. Or - is there a trick to installing the LMC seals that I'm missing?
I've been putting this job off and think I need to get it done before the winter sets in..

Steele Rubber lists the door w/strips. I have had good luck with Steele in the past for other cars I've done but want to stress I have not used this particular piece. I have a 62 and will be ready for door strips in about 60 days...

I've heard that lmc and others are asian and DC makes theirs on ford tooling
Not sure if that's accurate though

that sucks, ill be needing them soon as well.
ive pretty much already decided if i buy anything and dc has it; thats where ill get it from.
guess ill have to wait for them to get them back in....
the tooling theory may be true; seems the price is significantly higher....

I sent them an email so ill let you know..
They don't let you order out of stock items for back order
I might try the universal weatherstrip from o'reilly to hold me over if needed
I'm putting in new carpet and don't want leaks into the cab

Well, mine are just plain gone so I'll need to do something, even if it's a temporary fix.
I did find something interesting however;
I ordered some parts from C&G and they were direct shipped from DC.
I saw that C&G had door seals and I'm wondering if they are DC also...
In any case, DC said they have no ETA on the seals and I can't place a back order. I may need to improvise until they get them back in stock.
I do have the LMC ones on hand, but I'm thinking of just returning them rather than try to use them; too many horror stories
