Weatherstripping

[alan29]

I need to replace weatherstripping on the doors of my 66 Stout. What is the appropriate type and where can I get it?

Hey alan29, welcome to the Forum.

Do you mean the stripping that attaches to the door at the bottom of the window and supposedly stops water going down into your door cavity? If this is what you are looking for, then I too need the same advice. ;D

If you are looking for the rubber that goes right around the door to seal it to the body of the truck when it's closed, then I suggest adapting something else as has been done on my truck. Simply go to an autoparts store and buy a more generic rubber and mould it around, stick it and cut it to length. My tip is that finding genuine ones will be tricky.

Also.................... post up some pics of your Stout !!!!

I need both. I had used a generic weatherstripping around the doors, but the stripping at the bottom had not worn off at that time. It needs it now. I've seen some similar rubber in a JC Whitney catalog, but was hoping that someone had more specific information on it. Tell me how to post the pics and I'll do it. I can't see how to insert an image on this message.

Posting pics on the forum is as simple as following the directions kindly supplied by toyotageek in the following post:

Might be best to post pics in the Stout section of the pick-up forum. In fact I would post any Stout related questions in that area as well because there are quite a few of us Stout owners now on here, but like me, they might generally just check the Stout board.


As for your rubber query....... maybe the best person to contact would be Carlyn Dinkler [e-mail]

You can even just send him a pm through this forum.

I too am looking for both of my Stouts. I was going to try the generic but will try Carlyn. Thanks for info.
