Weatherstripping

[fpchief]

I need to put the weatherstripping around my tailgate but i want to use some for gaps on my soft top doors, etc. Is there a decent source of supply for some good GP stick on weatherstripping? Not really concerned with using the correct stripping for the tailgate since it is most likely overpriced anyway.

To add, i do not want that grey real spongy stuff. Looking for stripping like is around the tailgate, black and higher quality

For the tailgate, I picked up this tailgate weatherstripping from Amazon. I've had it in the truck for the past year and it works well!




For around the soft doors, I just installed the X-135 weatherstripping from db Engineering. It fits perfectly around the door openings and the adhesive is very strong. It comes in a 20' roll so I ordered 4, one for each door so I could keep it a single continuous run around the opening to minimize paths for leaks.

I test fit a soft door with it on there and it is very snug closing now, to the point where I've got my catches all the way out and it's still tough to close the doors. I'm going to be doing some more fitting when I put my tops and doors on next weekend since it's now that time of the year I've got to. I'll have to see about spacing out the inside door handle or possibly trimming the catch.

The soft top will install over it and it should help push the top material out for the doors to seal against better.

This winter will be the test to see how well this new weatherstripping seals...

OE, the tailgate has foam on the bottom and 2 strips on the side. Part numbers in tm as mine did not have either one and I am adding to a tailgate I am building. Kascar had both reasonable.
