Full Version: OEM Inner Door Seals - Anyone have a profile pic?

I ran into a guy today who is retired from rubber seal manufacturing company - he has TONS of seals stashed in his garage - mostly 250' rolls in nearly every size and profile. What caught me eye was the trim seals that are the same design as the 914 door seals - vinyl steel reinforced channel with rubber bulb style seals.

I'm wondering if anyone has access to a picture, preferably with a ruler for scale, of the OEM inner door seals. With everything this guy has, I am confident that I can get a VERY close match - and he's nearly giving it away - said I could have one roll for $50.

Pic of OEM seal profile would be awesome! I could cut a ton for everyone who needs them for next to nothing! BTW - my seals are shot and crushed flat, so I can't get a good estimate of the true size and shape.

This pic is for reference only, but he has tons of these seals in all shapes, profiles, etc.

I, for one, would definitely be interested
I can snap a couple of pics tomorrow if you would like (and if nobody else beats me to it)

Count me in if you find one that works. I'd get a picture for you but my seals are similar in condition to yours.

Hey Bartlett - great job on the pics - perfect! Can you give me a length measurement also? Thanks.

I replaced mine with a door seal from a Freightliner dealership.
The part# is 22-25294-005 and will do both sides with about a foot left over. Fits good and should cost about $27.

That's not OEM, but is compatible. The OEM bulb doesn't have the two 'fins'. It's a plain round bulb.

Mark says it is not OEM. I measured 82.5". This picture shows the texture on the one side.

Just to make sure you guys realize. The pictures shown are from a seal that I have and are for reference sake only. Vendors here have this but I can't remember which one this seal is from. We will need to wait and see what Customstarr finds and how it compares.

Bartlett - thanks for all of your help. I really want to get the dimensions from an OEM seal - I'm telling you, this guy has a frickin' ton of the seals and alot of them were the regular round bulb type that McMark is talking about.

He does have a seal that is nearly identical to the ones that you have Bartlett - I told him that I'd pick up that reel if I can't find a near exact OEM match. If someone here already has an EXACT OEM match, I'd buy a set - providing that they are affordable. It's just that these seals in bulk are so cheap, why not get a bunch and save some $$$?

Glenn Sager - a914luvr at sbcglobal.net - sells them. He has a profile that is just about perfect.

Oh shit .... I just realized this is an attempt to sell parts in the garage .... damn .... if posts could still be deleted I would delete this one.
