Do you get adenoid with all the turbulence in the doors ?

[JTWard]

When I got done with my 88 Blazer K5 Silverado, I was using it a lot but whenever I did any turnpike traveling it was hard to hear the sound system due to the air turbulence it the top of the doors. After the restoration, we put new door weatherstripping which sealed fine but there is an area at the top of the doors where air enters and get a lot of twisting and turning. So I hunted around and looked a alot of products. I found this 3/4 by 3/4 'D' shaped foam stripping. It is dense foam but it has a smooth skin on it's outside. This way no water can get into the foam. The foam can be found anywhere on web, it comes in 10' roles This is my truck. And this is the foam has double face sticky tape on the bottom and how it looks installed on my truck.

1979-81 trucks actually had a second piece of weather strip over the doors for this purpose. See part #2.

Early squares specify a seal there. I have it installed on my 91 suburban and it removes just about all the noise from top of the doors. Same concept.

I don't think weather stripping is supposed to go there...

adenoid: The adenoid, also known as a pharyngeal tonsil or nasopharyngeal tonsil, is the superior-most of the tonsils. It is a mass of lymphatic tissue situated posterior to the nasal cavity, in the roof of the nasopharynx, where the nose blends into the throat. Normally, in children, it forms a soft mound in the roof and posterior wall of the nasopharynx, just above and behind the uvula.

Just poking some fun...it happens to us all (especially us old farts who would rather yell at the computer screen).

Yeah, in all honesty, I never would have known they tried to double up the weatherstrip on a couple model years. I'm used to seeing it on the new junk, never gave it much thought as to when they first started doing it.

As long as it works. It looks pretty good too.
