Door seal

[Cincinnati Guy]

What size clear plastic hose do you use on the inside of the door seals to make a better seal? I cant remember where I seen someone do this.

Well I hadn't heard about clear tubing but that may work ok, what I heard and don't know the size either is surgical tubing, hmm...guess it's time to take off a door seal at a pik a part and test fit some eh?

The size is 1/4 inch. Home Depot has it the cheapest. You may end up repositioning your door strikers. Thats no big deal. Just draw a line around the striker before you attempt moving it.

Thanks Gary! Happen to know how long a door seal is?

so ya stuff the tubing inside the door seal to return it to its normal shape? Interesting!

 

[Cincinnati Guy]

Pretty much.

Awsome, never knew that. Both my pigs door seals bring the suck. Time to gather some 1/4 clear tubing.

Its about one million inches... No, I don't recall. What you do it start the tubing in at the top rear. Lube with dish soap and push it in. You will find tiny holes in the inside of the weatherstrip. If you need to just use a razor knife to cut a small slit to fit it in. Have fun.. Its not difficult at all either and the sound deadening is priceless. I learned this from another member here long ago... I can't really take any credit for this discovery... Just pass it along...
