Window seal kit

Both driver's and passenger's windows leak on my '71. They are noisy at highway speed, and allow a little moisture to come in when I wash it. The gaskets feel dry and brittle, so I'm assuming I need to replace all of them (although the vent windows seem fine).

Is this what I want? http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....sn=452&jsn=452 $60.79 from Rock Auto. I'm not finding anything on dennis-carpenter.com.

Thanks!

I've replaced mine, plus adjusted the doors an still get a wind noise just not as bad.
Insulated cab inner roof the doors & the floor.

I get turbulence noise from the windshield drip rail around the cab an mirrors.

My door vent seals are new an fit wore then the 40yr olds ones, got them from D.C.

Just a heads up don't buy any rubber seals from LMC they don't last long, the ozone dry's them out an crack.

Steel Rubber is about the best you can get, but you also pay for that quality. Here is a link to their stuff;

This is my hard luck story with window channel gaskets:
I replaced then
m with aftermarket stuff a year ago. It didn't do a bit of good on the driver's side. I found that the window rattled to and fro. It turns out that the glass had been busted out before I got the thing and the glass cutter cut about 1/4 inch too narrow.
My luck.

I checked the prices on Steel Rubber. WOW! I thought D.C. was high. There is no way their quality is high enough to justify those kinds of prices. I'll stay with Dennis Carpenter.

Carpenter reproduces ALL the weatherstrips for your truck (1967/72 F100/350 same) and they're made in the USA

Most of the other repro weatherstrips are made in China CRAP.

Steele Rubber is made in the US and is some of the highest quality. Not sure if it's worth as much as it costs, but I have seen and touched their products and they are fantastic.

NumberDummy i was on the D.C. web site today. the only thing they have listed of the 67/72 f-100,s are door anti- rattlers. NPD also does not have kits to do the doors. Mac,s does have a kit listed on their web site. not sure where they are made. it may cost a bunch but i am going to use Steele Rubber on my 67. i only want to do this once.

Open your peepers.

1/10/2018 @ 3:18 PM PST .. I didn't have any trouble finding any of the 1967/72 F100/350 cab/door weatherstrips at dennis-carpenter.com, so you shouldn't either.

If you don't see 'em, call DC and ask: 800-476-9653.

Here DC window shield gasket coming apart at it's joint, along with their door window Anti rattle fuzzy strips in place take note the ends lengths?,
plus their vent wing gasket seal not wide enough an had to touch up the paint from old paint showing where gasket did not cover like the oe did why.

I called DC at the time due to the hood lip trim was a half inch to long and could not install it, sent it back.

I complained that their QC manager must have been sleeping on the job. The gal on the phone at DC said they don't have any QC manger. I told her this must be why this hood trim is to long. A new window shield gasket was sent to me free.

I don't know who to really buy from now since DC IS SUPPOSE TO BE the best stuff made from FORD Dies spics.

Oh well!

In addition to what you found, I found the door weatherstrips (DC: C7TZ-8120530-PR), vent window seals (DC: C7TZ-8121448-PR), front and rear back glass weatherstrips (there are two different types of each).

I found those as well. But what I'm not finding (and neither is @ lilorbie) are the upper window gaskets. Dennis Carpenter lists the complete window gaskets (incl. anti-rattler and upper gaskets) in the 2017 print catalog that I have, but not online. All they have is the anti-rattler (C7TZ-8121452-PR). Since the upper gaskets are brittle on mine, I believe I need to replace them as well as the lower anti-rattle felt gasket. I haven't called DC, so I guess I should probably do that next. Otherwise, as stated in my OP, I'm thinking of going with the Rock Auto kit (http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....sn=452&jsn=452), even though it is most likely Chinese. Can't see spending what Steele Rubber wants for their kit!

75 of these upper window gaskets (Ford: front door glass run-latch side) are available NOS .. A Ford dealer in Springfield IL has 69 of the puppies.
