From what I see in your pics, a big difference! Even the closed cell foam looks different!

Agreed. The original that I pulled was already gone or I'd have included it in the pictures. When I get the other pulled if I remember I'll get a picture of it in here for posterity. There isn't a huge difference in the feel of the rubber seal...

The Dennis Carpenter seals arrived today. I won't have time to deal with them before going out of town tomorrow, but by the time I get back the Fairchild seal on the passenger side will have been in place for about 3 weeks and I'll know what I'm...

No compression? Did you put a compression gauge on it?

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, the Fairchild brand seemed highly regarded, but... 🤷🏻‍♂️I had not thought of eBay for this. I've found interior trim pieces and hardware and other niche items but didn't think of trying to track down OEM that way...

Hmmm, I have found going with the cheapest brand from Rock Auto not the way to go. Doors should close nice and not requiring any force. I would try to find stock OEM weatherstripping. eBay is a good place to find NOS parts. Final note Dennis...
