weatherstrip advice

[jcb]

I need advice about door weather striping. Where can I get the best fitting ws for the doors?  Thanks,  JCB

Many members have reported using 1993 - 2002 Kia Sportage weather strip. Some of the Z weather strip is a bit too hard or over sized and prevents the door from closing easily. Occasionally requiring a door adjustment.

Thanks Mark, I thought there was a different car weather strip used but I could not find the thread.  Thanks again, JCB

I got the precision seals, baked them on warm in my oven for an hour, installed them, shut the door and tried to not open it.  Now over a month and they seem pretty darn good.  I don't have to slam it.  Just for info.

That's a great idea, and if someone already has them installed a hair dryer or paint stripper gun on low might work, warm them up, close the doors and don't open them until spring.

I believe its McMaster-Carr. I have used different versions of theirs on several cars. Looks good when in. Part# 1120-A333 is is about the the right size.
Good luck
