I had to cut off the old beat-up weatherstripping on my hard doors and am looking for alternatives. The OEM seal wasn't thick enough to form a good seal around all the corners. Has anyone found a good aftermarket alternative? Seems like a 1" wide, thick seal with heavy-duty doublestick tape would work well...

Humvees leak everywhere. You will have to get used to it.

If you make the seal too thick, is there a chance of cracking the doors? The latch will hold the middle in place, but the seal would push the bottom and top out further?
I am not trying to stay dry.... just a little quieter.

I'm hoping that if it is soft enough, and compresses well, it'll at least close the air gaps.

The only thing that makes noise on my x-doors is the windows when they are up. The doors are new. Do you have all the floor and tunnel pads in place?
Yes, just no weatherstripping around the doors.

Honestly, the kit looks like nothing more than weatherstripping that you can buy at Lowe's or HD, some clear silicone sealant and a caulking gun... Not really something high-tech enough that you couldn't just stop by the home center and load up. That's what I did...
Possibly, but if the price is right it's good to stay mil spec.

Night of the living dead thread resurrection...
How many of these kits does it take to seal all four doors?
I‘m finding the rolls of foam, an occasional kit. This seems like it might be a better way to go than the OEM weatherstripping to cut out wind noise and/or reduce water intrusion.
Thanks anyone.

Are the original OEM door gaskets available? Looks to be front doors have a different left and right side. Rears are the same. I would be up for a set for all doors. CAM
