Default window weatherstrip

LMC parts were a failure, both door seal and the horizontal window stripping, also called a sweep? Door seal too thick and windows seals poor fit and seal, esp the rear rounded sweep where the rubber seal bunches. Am I supposed to heat this?
Anyway, search found dennis carpenter for the door seals which looks like it will be a better fit. Narrower channel, example. I need the sweeps but was wondering if bronco-graveyard or npd parts were good?

I used these on my truck awhile back and have been very pleased with them: https://www.carparts.com/details/For...CNF452114.html

I think mine are from JBG. Click my signature link & browse the Doors photo album.

I'll check JBG. LMC sweeps had very soft metal clips and rubber that's bunched along the curve. NPD and bronco graveyard also have these parts but return policies are less than clear and photos all dark.

I just replaced my door seals this past weekend with the fairchild brand - they fit like a glove. I definitely had to adjust the striker out a bit to get it to close properly, but the old seals were very tired. I've also used their outer door sweeps and they fit great. Get them from rockauto.

Fairchild KF2005 will give you all 4 sweeps
""""""""" KF3019 will give you the seals.
