[Chevelle-List] Door Weatherstripping info needed
My 69 Elky needs some new door weatherstripping. Coming back from Nebraska yesterday,a lot of cold air was coming into the interior around the doors. The door fit looks perfect but the weatherstripping is very hard;not pliant at all. Can you guys give me your recommendations as to what stripping is the one to buy and where to get it?

RE: [Chevelle-List] Door Weatherstripping info needed
All of the stuff we sell is from either Soff-Seal or Steele Rubber. No complaints so far. I'll be having all the new weatherstrips put into my El Camino very soon myself. If you can wait a while, I can send you some pics and a report on fit/finish, etc. I don't expect to have it back for a little while yet though.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Door Weatherstripping info needed
It's pretty much all Soff-Seal. I forgot to mention earlier that the window felts come from Re-Pops. Steele Rubber has lots more selection for less popular stuff, but Soff-Seal has Chevelle / El Camino pretty well covered.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Door Weatherstripping info needed
There is also another brand of weather-stripping out there, and I have read where other Chevelle guys recommend it after using it. Have no experience in this area myself, just researching it as well.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Door Weatherstripping info needed
Not hard at all. The biggest job is removing the old and cleaning the area in preparation for your install. I like the black 3-M black heavy duty weather strip adhesive, runiinh a 1/6 to 1/8 bead between the locating plugs. As for brands. Soft Seal or Metro ( I never used Steel) Metro rubber is Softer sponger on compression. They both are good products. But the Soft Seal on a Door wheater Strip, takes longe for the foam/rubber to compress and let the door sit flush. And you still most likly will have to readjust the striker pin. After some time everything will conform and then IMO. both products are the same.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Door Weatherstripping info needed
There is a door frame weatherstrip that goes around the shell of the door (completely around on 2 4 door sedans and El Caminos or just around the bottom sides on coupes and convertibles). Then there is a roof rail weatherstrip for coupes, where the door glass meets the roof rail. Then there is window glass run channel, which goes into the vertical bar behind the vent window on pre-1969 coupes and convertibles w/ vent windows, and around the top both sides of the door glass on 2 4 door sedans and El Caminos w/ vent windows. Then there is the vent window seal for pre-1969 coupes convertibles and 2 4 door sedans El Caminos w/ vent windows. Finally there are the window felts, which sit in the channel where the door glass comes out of the door shell (and where the quarter window glass comes out of the rear quarter on 2dr models).
