Awesome! This is just what I need as well. I don't recall which brand of glue in seals I used in my pickup. Would have much preferred push style.

You may as well drop a honda 4 cyl in too while your at it , and some back up cameras ,a bunch of led's and maybe drop it on bags mounted to a rusty frame and take it to the ground and hey why not hack out the dash and install a chinese stereo and amps with some boom speakers ? so you can't hear that fart can exhaust ? and hey some cheap aftermarket race seats would fit right in ? :lol:

I'll never understand the instant gratification generation ...:lol::chevy:

Volksworld yeah it will clear around the dash there are a few pics in thread,I installed the dark grey think they call them graphite.If I do find of set of black ones though I will probably put them in.
Thanks Brian

Original style glue in door seals have worked for 50 years , Do they require more work to install than say honda door seals ? sure they do , But it's the way it was done when these trucks were new and there is something to be said about using the original method and type seal . If your not trying to stay with the original style and look ...Honda seals may be fine ? :chevy:

With this ideology you should still be using an points ignition... are you? Cause why fix something that's not broken, innovation and an open mind are useless right?

I found that "BMW 325i" door seals fit great,had to use a few to get the length I needed, but fit the pinch welds nicely, and fit under the sill plates as well.

Hey Grumpy Old Man, what if the new original replacements are made in china and the new Honda ones are made in USA? Just curious what you would do.

Anyone have a part number for the Civic seals? Wondering how much they are new, but cannot find them online.

crakarjax 08-17-2017 01:30 AM

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
 
Found it, ex 72310-SVA-A01 - $50 each

Put a set of Honda door seals on my 72 GMC tonight- fit was near perfect, just had to cut it and trim about 1.5" from its total length. The doors shut with just the right amount of effort- no slamming necessary!
I had a set of Precision push-on seals prior and the doors were near impossible to shut. They are a quality product, just didn't fit right for me.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
 
Mrlobster glad to hear they fit great,If anything on my 71 I wish they would of been a touch longer.I wonder if it depends on what year or factory door seals were made at.My were from a 09 civic.Thanks for the feedback.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
 
I have yet to find original style glue on or the newer replacement press on seals that haven't required door slamming. So, personally, I don't care who makes it or what car it was intended for, if it works better than the new repro stuff, I'll buy it. Currently have press ons and they suck as many have noted. But I put those on because the original replacement glue ons sucked too. So, if you have used original style glue on type that don't require door slamming, please provide the exact part number and mfgr. In the meantime, I might be calling Mr. Honda. I'd be curious to know - if someone buys the Honda seals new how the door closing goes for you. Hopefully this isn't just a case of slightly used seals work fine but brand new require slamming. Very interested in this - thanks for posting!

EDIT - and since precision seals is a vendor here, I'd like to hear them address the door slamming issue that everyone is complaining about. It doesn't improve with time. That is what I currently have on my truck btw. I've manipulated the pinch weld to improve things as much as possible, but door closing is still pretty lousy imo.

Mrlobster, what year and model honda did they come off of? Thanks

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
 
I have a brand new one on the passenger side and a used one on the driver side. I can't tell a difference. They both work great.

Arnulfo 08-31-2017 02:29 PM

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
 
Did you use the part # provided by krakarjax for the new one? What color is new one? Thanks

HMMM...I think that I may order some NOS ones for my 68...? What is the Honda year range again for these?

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
 
There 06-11 2 door civic, has to be civic the other 2dr models don't work.

Re: OMG Honda door weatherstripping fits perfect no cutting required !!
 
In Canada, new ones direct from Honda are $200.00 for the pair...$60.00 for a used set was much more palatable. I'm not sure the exact year, I just gave them the range and they pulled them for me.

Thread hijack;
I wrestled with your competitors windshield gaskets on a 72 'till I was blue in the face. I threw both of them in the trash and I finally found Presision and the windshield went right in.

End of hijack.
