leaky door

[mocheese]

Can anyone help me out with a leaky door issue with my m1028. The seal on cab looks good but it still leaks water when it rains. I also noticed that lmc has a seal on the upper part of the door mounted with screws but i dont see any screw holes just rubber plugs. Does anyone have a a seal on both the door and the cab?

Yes you need the seal on the top of the door! If its missing it will leak like crazy!

Any chance anyone could post up a pick of the door seal. My door does not show any indication that it ever had one so i have no idea of the proper location. Thanks

i have owned a few of these 80s chevy trucks and never knew about that seal. i have two trucks in the yard and neither ever looked like that strip was installed. you sure thats not just a blazer thing?

My civi 84 c20 has one and my 85 m1008 had one also!

my M1010 has a seal on driver door but missing on other side door..... didn't know it until had a hard rain other day.... where is the best place to get a new one.... this is one of those parts you don't want to use a takeoff part...
thanks

Post up which LMC part number you go with as I believe there are a couple options. I'm so sick of my left leg getting soaked going around corners.

My 1028 does not have that seal, nor does it look like there was ever one there. My doors do not leak, now my windshield, that's a different story.

I tried those part numbers and when I tried them on my doors they were too short. LMC clearly lists those part numbers as for a 79-81 and they do not list a part number for anything after 81.

I returned them to LMC and am still looking for a replacement from other sources.

What am I missing?

Why not look at the parts TMs and see if there is a seal listed(and it's GM part number)?

I have an M1008 an M1010 and a 91 Suburban and none have that seal. I took Dogheads advice and checked the -20P.
The following cut and paste is from the -20P . They are referred to as molding, frame left and right. Note the UOC is 209. That means its used on the M1009 only.

Hmmm...... the pickups use a rain gutter and the blazer doesn't. I wonder if the seal is used because of that.

I have three blazer bodies and none of them have the seal. I have gotten rid of 4 or 5 more and don't remember them having the seal. None of the burbs have had the seal but they do have the rain gutters.

Interesting.

I took a set of door top gutters off a 90 burb and installed on my m1008. no leaks now. total cost about 3 bucks, won't leak now even if I lost my door seals somehow.

I replaced all the weatherstripping on the door. I have the new weatherstripping to put on the cab side, I am just waiting to refinish the floor first. It has rained here everyday for probably for a month now. With the door shut, water is running down the weatherstripping on the cab side and soaking my rocker panels and the inside corner of my floor boards below the air vent. There doesn't appear to have been any weaatherstripping on top of the door.

So ordering gutters should solve the issue?
