Hi all,

I used the VR kit when the car was restored and the drivers side door closes fine but the passenger side is a pita, and I have adjusted the hinges, latch etc for ages but that door simply won't sit properly.  The car has never been hit and if I pull the seal it closes perfectly.  Has anyone compare the width of the VR and Preciosion seals side by side?  I'm hoping the Precision one is a bit thinner.  I've searched for any NOS but no go, any feedback would be great.  

Thanks!

I've ordered the Precison seal, and will revert back with how it compares to the VR.  I like how the door fits now but I could do some adjustments to the window frame in the meantime time.  Cheers

Please post up what you find. I have been putting off buying door seals as I cant decide what direction to go. My car is still in pieces, but I rebuilt the hinges, they had a lot of slop in them. Hopefully that will help.

A little something I wrote up a while back. In my and many other's experience, the Precision stuff is not ideal, and evidently, neither is Vintage Rubber. McMaster-Carr makes weatherstripping that's comparatively easy to install, keeps water out well, and allows the door to close properly. Info's in the linked post. Hope this helps.

I paid for the VR kit . 3X the price of a precision kit . Didn’t notice anything much different in the door seals . My advice for doors is do the Kia seals or try and find a copy of theIr seal . 

I restored my last Z in the late 90's and dealt with poor fitting aftermarket door seals. Same issue 25 years later.....except OEM is NLA!
