Door Seals ?

CAtuned sells repro seals they dont look too bad from the pictures havnt tried them

After all of this time I finally installed my seals that I got here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. 25ft confirmed enough, I have just about 1ft left over, but the channels on these are a tiny bit undersized and don't 100% fit on the corners. I'll have to see if they stay put. I also didn't do the best job cutting the corners using sheet metal shears so I'll just have seal them up and together with some RTV but it's nice to close the doors and not see a shrunken door seal hanging down in the corner. If they wind up shrinking and fitting like crap I'll post an update, if that happens I probably would just cut them at the very bottom under the sill guard like my old OE seals were.

So do the old ones just slip off and new ones slip back on or is it more involved than that

old ones slip off. new one slips on but needs trimming, they send it with about 4-6" of excess to ensure fit. The oem one is a perfect fit as in it is one complete "circle" with no ends, the ebay one is a strip with a 90 degree angle where it meets the b-pillar.

the hardest part of the installation is popping the sill guard (i'm not sure the exact terminology) off without breaking the sill guard and/or breaking clips. you want some nice clean and sharp flush cutters to cut the new seals.

I just installed the driver door seal from ebay. Here's the one I used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/14343527847...53.m1438.l2649

It worked great. This seal even had the holes drilled in it. This is a much better alternative to the OEM $300 seals.

Are the Turkish seals still available?

[mike11339]

just a reminder buy the 20 ft because the 10 ft is obviously short !!
yes, I just took some photos, and let me know if you need more from a different angle!!





you will feel it is harder to close the door with this seal because it doesn't have holes like the OEM so you need to make some small holes on the aftermarket one to let the air pressure to escape. here is a photo of the OEM one that has holes



then I took the fabric out of the OEM to paint it black then I will glue it to the aftermarket



here is a side by side the OEM and the one from AMAZON

How did you get the 90 degree cut so clean?

[gespinal0301]

I ordered the Amazon seals since I badly need some



My only question is what adhesive to use in order to get the headliner into position and also seal the weather stripping

[projectJTv4]

Just to update - turkish seals have had 0 issues, no leaks and were easy to install.

Car sits outside in the snow, rain etc.

I ordered my turkish seals a while ago before reading/find this thread. Thank you for the update! I look forward to no leaks too!

I was just looking at those ebay seal kits... but I think I'll go the Amazon route. Thank you to all who have posted here, this is really valuable information. I tried cutting my original seals, stretching them into the corners, and filling the gap with some donor material from another door seal, but I'm still getting some wind noise and I think its because the original seal "bulb" also compressed over time and isn't snug on the surface of the door. When I end up doing the amazon seals I'll post an update too.

Hey guys, any updates on reproducing the original seals? With the cloth lining? Would love a set for my 2-door.

[Narsiyousif]

can anyone confirm the exact length of the 2 door seals? There's a 13 foot option on amazon, is that long enough?
