I am wanting to find a good source for door seals and window seals , I have use LMC but the door seal seems to be to firm that you need to slam the door shut . Looking for some thing like factory quality. I have heard that the LMC windshield seals are junk .

No that's not the problem. they seem to be to firm . Thee door shut good before I put the seal on , the gap around the door was very close to being the same , I would sayI am compressing it only about .125/ .187 max.

If your useing new door gaskets it will take a while to compress shutting the door requires keeping your hand on the handle pushing it shut eliminating the bounce that keeps it from latching.

The LMC door seals are fine, but the LMC windshield seal is about 3 inches too long. I threw mine in the dumpster and found a NOS seal at an obsolete parts dealer. Get the GM parts number and Google it - you will be surprised what pops up.

Yes that is a problem buying from LMC I always search out OEM parts twice the price but Im not going to support china and not to mention the aggravation trying to use parts that dont fit.

I recommend using NOS GM parts if possible. GMPartsGiant dot com is a good place. Just enter the GM part number in the search box and... Presto!

Are you saying you had the same problem with the door seal . I have never up in a windshield seal... yet.
