What in the heck is this rubber seal for? AD - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

These two rubber seals were in the box of all my new rubbers for my truck. I can't for the life of me figure out what they are for. They are a loop and if you pull that loop straight it's about 33 inches across the longest point.

It's a "V" shape, sorry for the one photo out of focus but you can see how it's shaped.

Kinda looks like running board seal...except for it being a loop?

MARTINSR · 08-28-2018, 11:56 PM

It's too small for the running board seal, I have those, they are much bigger.

Some practical joker threw them into your parts box just to confuse you. They're probably off a refrigerator door.

Kind of looks like the wiper seal that goes inside the door, but those are not a loop either. Maybe cut to length.

looks like a seal for the battery pack on a flux capacitor. only needed when you install that Tesla motor.!!!

I thought about the transmission floor cover, but it would be a pretty bad one. Nope, I honestly think it doesn't go to this truck, that's all I can think, there is nothing it even comes close to on the truck.

They don't look like anything I have ever seen for an AD but I wouldn't throw them away yet.

My guess is that someone with a different model and maybe brand of truck is fussing that he is missing two seals out of his box.

MARTINSR · 08-29-2018, 02:20 PM

Yeah, I left them in the box.
