T&N door main seals

jww · Oct 14, 2023

I know this subject has been beaten to death but I’m at this point again (long story)!

Are T&N door weatherstrip seals still being produced and if so who sells them.?
Car is 57 2 dr sedan and will be taking doors off again for this.
I have a new set of Danchuk seals (552) but I’m a little leary of them! Should I be? Been stung by some Danchuk pieces a time or two.

Sooo, T&N available?
Thks, Jerry

Soff Seal or Precision.

I bought precision windshield and back glass gaskets because I couldn't get the T&N seals

One tip I figured out when I did my 2-door weatherstrips, which I did on the car, is to pull the plastic pins out of the rubber, and then tap them in about halfway. It is the best way to get them started straight. Then you can stretch the holes in the rubber over the T of the clip like buttoning a shirt. Then you can just give a little tap to seat them.
I might to need it again since I either got them on backwards or maybe need a different brand, since mine are not tight closing at all. They were Danchuk I believe, and the instructions were helpless.

I didn't have much trouble with mine. just made sure holes were clear of paint. Hardest ones were at the hinge area

Thanks for the replies, guys.......sounds like SoftSeal may be the flavor of the day. Recently had to remove some Metro Rubber seals. Made the doors stick out past the fenders and the quarters and had been that way since July!
May give Precision Rubber a try just to see how they work out.

Thanks again, Jerry

Just an FYI I have NOS GM seals. Not cheap, but they will never make the door hard to open, or not fit. Pins will press right in and never pull out! You will not have to remove the door to install them......

Send me a PM if you have interest.
