Weatherstripping Kit

[mr.smartass]

Does anyone have an opinion on them? 89' Blazer, I've seen people complain about the LMC and Classic Trucks kits, what about 1aautoparts? I need all the pieces.

I know this has been asked before but the last thread I saw was from 2013, maybe something has changed.

Thanks

Check @MTBLAZER89 build thread, he just bought a pile of weatherstrippin and is mid install.

I've used some of their weatherstrips and so far they've been good.

1A Auto is about as good as I've seen on weather stripping. None of the aftermarket kits are as good as factory, but good luck finding NOS weather stripping.

Just got done installing weather stripping on my rig from 1a auto. They are good to go in my book.

I used LMC and they weren't terrible. But I wouldn't use it on a fancy restore job.

@mr.smartass I just recieved a complete kit from Precision. It has all the seals in the 1A kit plus the side window seals, windshield seal, and upper door seals for $399. I couldn't find any feedback on the 1A stuff. They sell Fairchild seals as far as I know. Precision is what the high end guys all recommended to me. I have installed the glass run felts and inner/outer beltline seals on the front doors so far. Everything fits great and was easy to install.

I ordered the CWK 1117 81 kit from Stylintrucks. http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts/p...ip_kits/18698G/precisionpartspcnc452148-.aspx Precision lists this kit for $730

The last seals I got from 1a Auto were in Precision packaging.

I just recently asked A1Tony and he told me they were Fairchild seals so I'm not sure.

Packaging I got from 1a said precision on them also.

Precision lists this kit for 1981 - 1985 Chevrolet - K5 Blazer and 1981 - 1985 GMC - Jimmy and I don't see one listed for anything in the 86-91 range. Which seals won't work on the '89?

$399 isn’t bad at all! Is that with all the top seals too?

I bought the LMC kit for the front windows part # 38-5651 without doing much research beforehand, however I am happy with them so far, my only regret is that I didn't buy an entire kit and if I were to do it again I would buy the $399 special that MTBlazer89 purchased because it'd be nice to replace all of the seals at once and what I've read here is that the LMC seals are hit or miss.

The vent "wing" windows are different seals for the 86-91. 1 piece vs 2 piece. The 81-85 kit also comes with an upper door seal that my 90 didn't have holes for.

Yup all the top seals except the slider felts.

I have everything installed except the side windows in the top at this point. Check out my build thread in the Driveway.

MTBLAZER89, does this kit have seals for rear window? I'm looking to replace all seals/weatherstripping. What else do I need, besides adhesive?
Any advice before doing this? I'm new to this and I'm searching what I can but thought I'd get your advice. Thanks!
