Weatherstripping

Does anyone make weatherstripping kits that I can replace my old stuff with? My little triangle windows on the doors are really noisy when I drive....

Thanks

It seems most on here dis-approve of JC Whitney stuff. It claims to be a OEM product but I'm leary of buying from them for my own truck when it gets painted if I keep reading what garbage their weatherstriping is.

I replaced the window weather stripping on my doors last month with JCWhitney stuff and I have zero complaint. Guess I was lucky?

I'm not sure. The price is right and the product does say "fits exactly as OEM". I need both windows and door seals soon and I don't want to throw away money if it falls apart in a year like a lot of people here say it does.

I bought J.C. Whitney stuff 4 years ago (window and door seals) and they are holding up fine. But they do change vendors from time to time.
If your vent windows are leaking be sure to check the latches as well. mine had the little nylon "tit" break off the handle, now they dont tighten all the way.

naw, just the door seal and the window tops and bottoms are pretty nasty looking. I never open the small window.

Yep. That's what's keeping the water out of my doors. After 10 years in AZ and TX the body was good but the rubber was pretty well shot.

Does that kit include the belting? I think it is caled. The two strips on either side of the window glass at the bottom.

I bought all the weatherstripping around the windows and the belt strips. Those things are a pain to change. I don't remember if it was a kit or if I had to get them seperately.
