Top of the door, NOT the cab, is there at least a piece of the old to ck direction? They are glued on with weatherstripping adhesive and I think.... maybe the flat edge goes on the side facing the cab?
But now I have been looking in every truck pic with the door open and no luck of an actual one but I feel stronger that it goes the other way, that would be door seal to cab seal.

btw, how does it run? just over top of doors, or all the way down the front of door, over the top, and whats left trim off?

I am 8000 miles away or I would go open a door and look at something I have never paid all that much attention to.
I think it is lined up with the back top curve of the door and the excess goes fwd down towards the wing?? I am guessing, but feel good with it.
Call either LMC, Dennis carpenter, NPD, BG... tech line and ask?

Installed Upper door seals?
Does anyone happen to have a picture of the top of the door where this is installed. I want to make sure I get it in right before I put the glue down.
thanks in advance.

I originally thought thats how they went but taped them on and closed the door and i could see light though the gap between the door and cab, so i moved them out to where they are now. Oh well

This thread answered a question I have been meaning to ask ... I figured that FORD added the extra seal on the door top to cut potential wind noise. I had seen it on a wrecked '79 once but thought then was an owner install as my '77 never had it. I maybe seen on others and just didn't take notice? I was looking today, see that it was used on '78 and '79 for noise reduction, but I was thinking it would be glued nearer the outer side nearer the lip, but not so sure now. Anybody know for sure ? I know, last post is 2013 but hey ... trucks are a lot older too.
