Aftermarket weatherstripping / Door seals

[opfor2]

I need to replace both drivers and passenger's front door seal/weatherstripping on my 2011 Tahoe. I'm going to buy them from RockAuto however, they only have aftermarket brand. FAIRCHILD G3160, AUTOTECNICA GM0818589, and PRECISION DWB111007 which would you choose?

You can also go to GMPartsDirect.com, enter your VIN, go to the body section, and look for the exploded diagram of the door. You should find what you are looking for along with the correct part number. And, the cost will be significantly cheaper than the local dealer.

When I had to replace door seals on my car, I found it really helps to look into how they’re made. A lot of seals, especially good ones, are made using a process called rubber compression molding. It’s basically where rubber gets squished into a mold under heat and pressure, which makes sure it fits perfectly and holds up well over time.

OEM can be found for about $100 each

I did GM OE for my 4 doors last year. Some from Rock Auto, some from GMPartsGiant and some from GM dealerships selling on Ebay.

If you are set on aftermarket, read the reviews to see which is best for you.

Quick question on this thread. Will replacing the door seals help quiet the interior? I feel like I hear excessive road noise when I am on the freeway. Not so much with regular street driving, but very noticeable when I am at speeds of 55mph or higher.

I noticed the interior a little quieter after replacing the door seals. I got aftermarket door seals from rock auto. The two front doors fit perfectly without any issues however; the rear seals had to be trimmed to fit.

Which did you go with?

I went with PRECISION DWB111007 for the front doors. The quality is equal to OEM in my opinion. They are a little long, so you can trim to fit.
