Door Rubber...for the doors

I looked, but the only thing that comes up is the doghouse using S-10 door rubber. I'm wondering what everyone uses or suggests for replacing the door rubbers on the front (or any doors)? Mine was pretty wrecked and came off in pieces, so there isn't anything to take to the auto store for reference. Anything that matches up nicely?

Thanks for the help! I'll use that pic as a guide. I'll probably see if a auto trim shop has something similar. I'd just like to get some brand new stuff that is full of life. Now I've got a starting point, though, thanks!

I got the side and rear door seals for 164.00 from restoration specialties, haven't priced the front doors yet but thats gotta happen someday.

Steele Rubber also sells replacement rubber for all the doors, but it ain't cheap

You happen to have the Part # you ordered?

Restoration Specialties:
#70248472 Front Doors (includes both)
#70258572 Side & Rear Doors (includes all 4)
#E715 Doghouse (with a couple of feet leftover)

What you get from restoration specialties actually is labeled steele rubber. I cant remember for sure but I think both run the same price.

Here ya go.....

Thanks for the replies!

Steel rubber and Restoration specialties are two entirly different companies.They do buy from each other though.
A well know Early van owner from Conn went to Steel Rubber to have the doors seals make for Early Chevy vans.I have delt with both companies and feel like steel rubbers service was way better.

I still have a good connection (factory direct for the window fuzzy kits) and glove box liners.......

...........Wookee

I bought my door rubber from Steele and am about to finally install it! On the left-hand cargo doors, the rubber is not a complete loop. Each end has a tab of metal imbedded in the rubber that gets riveted to the door. My painters did not remove the old ones before painting, like I had asked.

Does anyone know if this is a rivet that has to be drilled out or something that can be pried out? Rivets don't seem like something GM did much. It's not a pop rivet. And if it's a real rivet, I don't see how they could have gotten to the other side to "back it up".

See what the others say , but I treated it as a blind rivet and drilled the head off then punched the remainder through. Then used pan head screws to attach the new ones. Tape up some cardboard or something to protect your new paint?

And the Boss is absolutely right !!! I had to go look !! LOL
Still drilled them out tho,,hahahaha

Has anyone purchased both and done a comparison Steele vs Restorations.
Are the lengths the same? Why does Steele only cover 3/4 of the cargo doors? My current ones (which need replacing) go all the way around the door.

Sure Don, I could do that for the team - its just that the extra $170 spent on the second set of door rubber should go to get that Nova 3.06 rear end in that I have been sitting on

I got mine from RS and the bags they were in said Steel Rubber.???

Thinking that's what I ran in to also. Think the price is the same from either one to.

Looks like he's just another retail/Mail order outlet for the same parts.
