Door Weatherstrip
There are three basic types of door weatherstrip. Glue-On, Press-On, and Clip-On. Basic descriptions and installation tips have been separated by each style of door weatherstrip. (The loosening or removal of interior trim panels may be required to properly remove and re-install the door weatherstrip on some applications.)
Glue-On door seals are applied using weatherstrip adhesive found at all auto parts stores. We recommend 3-M brand Super Weatherstrip Adhesive. Glue-On door seals may be found attached to the entire door frame, upper door frame, or attached to the door opening on the cab.
Press-On door seals almost always attach the door opening on the cab. Press-On door seals are made with a stiff channel that presses over the body flange. The structure of the channel holds the weatherstrip to the cab without the use of adhesives or clips.
Clip-On door seals usually attach to the door. It is important to line up the door weatherstrip before final installation to ensure proper clip placement. Once you have established that you have the weatherstrip lined up correctly you may begin pressing the clips into the openings in the door. It is recommended that you apply a small amount of 3-M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive in between the clips for optimal retention.
