My door seals are terrible at least my front doors anyway, is the weather stripping universal by chance? Any recommendations for cheap/alright medium quality seals for my 88 f350? Never replaced them before but my are rotted out and I'm cab noise Is kinda excessive will this help it any by replacing them?

Don't know about the a good source for the seals, but I would think about changing the pins and bushings when you replace the seals. This combination will make for much less wind entering and exiting the cab.

Good luck

DON'T get the LMC or Dennis Carpenter products. They're both made in China and poor quality. OEM are made in Canada; try the various online dealers, they're only a few dollars more than the Chinese junk.

You can get Fairchild Industries made in USA door seals from RockAuto. I just bought some and they look good, but I have not installed them yet.

you can go to a body shop (or supplier) and buy it (you just need the shape/width/height you want) by the foot if you want to cut/form it around the door frame and glue it on

I haven't bought a pre-formed door seal in 10 years....

I believe Rock Auto also offers a kit to do the door window channels along with the door seals. I didn't need those so didn't look them up, but you should find them with a little searching.
