Weatherstripping

[Shawn]

Where's the best place to buy for my '87 V10 pickup?
I'm replacing my window motors and door shells as well. Eventually getting paint. Should I wait on weatherstripping until after paint or will it matter?

im doing the same thing and was told it will be better to wait on the weather stripping especially since im changing colors.

Dang. That'll be a while. Guess I'll keep the old busted and rusted doors until then too. I'll just replace the motors for now.

i cant see it being to difficult to peel them of before paint then reapply them afterwards.

Here is a little discussion here on the weather stripping shopping here, I haven't really found a great seal on the stuff. I was browsing through the universal ones on JCW but haven't priced it out that way yet, I got to measure what I have right now to do that.

I really need the drivers side window channel and seals and all 6 door seals.

I got my weather stripping from LMC

I bought mine from ebay and it was all precision.

It's not hard at all to change, go ahead and do it now, then pull it out before paint.

they have a complete door felt kit for like $54 or something for both doors, has new run channels and 4 window sweeps, both inners and both outers, then you can get the cab side door strip seperately.

I would wait and do it after paint, remove it before, paint it, getting ALL the edges and behind it, then install once it's painted. You could order it now and keep it though until then.

How were the prices on there compared to LMC/Classic etc?
