Belt Weatherstrips ?

I have been doing some research on these items. From what I have been reading JC Whitney ones do not fit very well. There are also 2 of them one that's 49 (1JA 072963) bucks and one thats 69 (1JA 071354) . (both sets of 4)? Why is the price difference? If I was to buy one, which one do I need. I also read that Acme carries them that fit well, but was unable to find them on their web-site. Can someone tell me what work and what does not please? Part Numbers will be amazing too. I'm tired of seeing how much water gets in my door through old busted up ones especially if I'm putting new speakers in. Thank you!

Thus far, I have put the J.C.Whitney ones on three trucks, two Dodges and my Ford.

I had no fitment issues whatsoever.

It is tougher to get the old out than to get the new in.


I am uncertain about the difference in prices; when I ordered ours there was only one part-number/price to choose from.

I too used the JC Whitney weather stripping. I had no issue, and they are good quality. I ordered the complete kits, outer door seal, belt line seals (inner and outer) and the window track seals.

Rock auto has window and door weather strips, single pieces, but added together is cheaper than the JC whitney kit. Might give that a thought. I just found it haven't used it and would like to know if anyone has?

I have and but have not got the fronts installed but everything else fits nice. Plus I believe the that the same company that JC Whitney sells is the same brand as rock auto
