Window Weatherstripping Recommendations

I'm looking for recommendations for sourcing new ones. My old ones are in place but all cracked up. I've read there are issues with clips on some new ones and I'd like to hear from anyone who has been happy with their replacement purchase on these. One source

The set I got from LMC fit better than the ones from Bronco Graveyard. The clips aren’t the issue. The problem is that rear curved section is formed wrong. Try to reshape the curve to fit the door frame and it can kink.

I saw one review on Amazon that suggested the LMC ones didn't fit the curve well as you've confirmed. I think I will go with the ones on Amazon even though the reviews say you should re-use the old clips on the interior molding because they all say they are a perfect fit.I'll return if they don't fit well.

Google Precision Rubber products, I've used them on both my 77 and 1995 F-150's, without any fitment complaints.

I got a door seal kit (for the B2) from JBG last month and that is who they are using now. The rear liftgate and door seal fit pretty good. Apparently there are two different belt mouldings for the door panel and am still trying to get that issue resolved.

The belt mouldings I got for the FSB and F-150 from LMC was a few years ago so maybe they aren’t as good.

Thanks for the Link. I got the window strip kit from JEGS. $33 plus shipping tomorrow. Total for $44. They had the total door kit for $66 plus shipping ($77 total). I would have bought it but it won't ship till 6/25. Hopefully the clips fit correctly because mine are shot on the inside of the drivers side window. My door strips are good but new ones would have come in handy when I spray the truck.

Has anyone used the weather strip kit from rock auto? Fairchild. Expensive, but it looks complete. Thanks

It doesn't include the glass strips which is what I wanted. Rock's glass strips don't reveal the manufacturer so I punted on those. The kit from Precision includes all 4 of the glass strips and the door stripping. Has everything for $66 at Jegs plus shipping.

Interesting, I patronize both 1973-79 and 1987-96 forums. Both forums see re-occurring window wiper seals (anti-rattle) replacement business and I've sure replaced mine on both generation trucks a few times for different reasons. This is good, to help ensure the window seals continue to be manufactured. Also, interesting, one time I ordered wiper seals for my 77 F-150 through National Parts Depot and they were Precision Products. Since then, and coupled with others on the forum, I've become partial to their products, lets hope they continue manufacturing them in the US.

For my Bronco II , the door glass run bags state “Made in Thailand” on them. The on-body door seal and belt moulding packages do not have where they were manufactured.

I hope this isn't a thread jack but since we're talking weather stripping: Does anyone have a source for a rear window seal for a 1990 XLT extended cab sliding window? Everything I search for ends up saying that it does not fit a slider.
Closest I found is maybe this:
https://www.jegs.com/i/Precision/757...RD&model=F-250
  • Rear Window Weatherstrip Seal
  • w/Trim Groove For Lockstrip
I'm not sure what the "lockstrip" is. They sell a lockstrip as well but it does not look like anything related to my rear window.

Try LMC Truck. Item 5, 49-9279. Is that what you're looking for?

Yes, thanks. I looked on LMC a few weeks ago and could have sworn the 82-96 sliding rear window was not listed. Maybe it was out of stock or I'm just blind.

My seals arrived yesterday and I was mightily impressed with just the quality of how they are packaged. The product itself looks superb. I installed the outside ones - flawless. I will install the door trim tomorrow now I've fixed the window motor and regulator. Like you I hope these people stay around.
