M1009 Tailgate weatherstripping

[thedeliverator]

Well, it's looking to be an active monsoon season out here in NM, and I can't park in the carport all the time, so.... Anyone know where I can pick up weatherstripping for the M1009? I need the piece that seals the tailgate around the bed and sides, and the piece that seals around the glass at the very least. Once I have those, I can start in on finding all the other places I'm leaking.

Long-term, the plan is to prime everything from the tailgate forward to the firewall and shoot Line-X or Rhinoliner on it. But it's still nice to have everything sealed, keeps the tools dry.

get the rear weatherstripping for a civilian K5 blazer. LMC should have it.

Thanks all! I'd forgotten about the strip at the top of the window - looks like I'll need that too.

Heres another link. http://classicindustries.com/ I have had good luck with them.
LMC uses a lot of offshore produced products (who doesn't anymore), that said, I have had to return parts I have ordered from them in past due to ill fit, very poor quality, etc. They have always taken things back, but it gets to be a big PITA. The last piece that had to go back was the weatherstrip between cab top and topper on a 1009. It was 5" too short. Buy OEM if you can.

Try here too. I got all the door and window stuff for y crew cab here.

That stuff sure seems pricey. To replace all of it will run you over $200.00. Anybody check with GM to see what OEM cost?

 

[Armada]

OEM parts, if still available, will almost always be higher priced.

Sure, but if OEM is only a little higher, say $250 to $300, then I would rather have the OEM. I mean if you have to pay out the a$$, why not have the real thing?

I would bet that it is no longer available from GM, they don't seem to be too interested in keeping their older stuff on the road.

This might be a better deal if the front is in as bad a shape as the back like mine is. But at $599, it costs as much as the truck did.

I found these on GM parts direct: The part numbers or from the TM. Nothing came back on the part #358593 for the seal in the top.

Michael,
Those part numbers were exactly what I was looking for - I'm going to take a list down to the (st|d)ealer on Monday and see what they want to charge me. I might be able to fix their computers again and get some free parts in trade

 

[Michael]

let us know what you find out.

 

[thedeliverator]

Well, I went down to the local dealer today - their prices are about double what GMPartsDirect charges. Interestingly enough, they didn't have anything for part number 358593 either.

 

[Jetnoise400]

The problem with GM Parts Direct is that they may have an attractive price, but once they hit you with their service charge and shipping, you're not getting much of a deal anymore.

At least that's been my experience.

 

[Michael]

You could try the other dealers within driving distance. The amount of markup varies from dealer to deale or so I have been toldr. Were they asking full list were you tried? I have never ordered anything from GM direct so I don't know about hidden charges.

 

[thedeliverator]

Hmmm, if GMpartsdirect has hidden fees, I may give LMC a try, or the other one that's up there. I've had horrible luck with anything from JCWhitney fitting properly.

 

[Jetnoise400]

Well, the GM Parts Direct fees aren't really hidden as you'll see them added on when you check out. But they don't appear until you start to finalize your order.
