M1009 tailgate GM PN and prices

[mr.travo]

Just wanted to post this FYI. I called the PN's in to the local GM dealer and he was able to tell me the prices.

Rear gate lower weather stripping PN 326934 $88.95
Rear gate outer glass weather stripping PN 327005 $47.81
Rear gate inner glass weather stripping PN 327006 $40.86

Drivers window weather stripping PN 14027777 $70.36
Passenger window weather stripping PN 14027778 $65.29

I am trying to find out more prices of my needed GM parts. I have heard that they are a lot easier to fit and last twice as long than LMC. I guess one must weigh the cost and what they are trying to achieve.

I hope this helps out someone.

Wow, Chevy still makes that stuff?? Did they have it in stock or was it a special order?
Thanks for posting

 

[mr.travo]

He would have to order it. They didn't have any in stock. no charge for shipping or anything (thank goodness at THOSE prices).

I am just trying to see what would be worth going GM and what's better LMC. I doubt I will be spending $70 per window channel! LOL! Big chunks are missing out of my drivers door, but I think the LMC won't be bad for that. I have heard and seen two tailgate W/S from LMC and they never would sit right and kept coming out of the slots when you rolled up the window. I just wasn't impressed. I think I will spend the extra $27 and get GM for that. The lower gate weather stripping can kiss my &^#*! $88 GM vs $50 LMC! I can't justify that much money for one piece of rubber.

Yep, I have the same problem with my outer tailgate WS. Glad you brought that up. At first...didnt think it mattered much. I did use the LMC driver/passenger door outer WS with no problems.
Thanks for the info brother!!

No sweat man! I like being able to help someone else as well.

I've had some luck with classicparts.com . Still have to hop around to get the best deal, but it adds to the places to look.

I've had good luck with discount body parts with my door seals, cheap too

That is a good deal of money for a few strips of rubber. I am sure they are not making a large profit on those

 

[mr.travo]

No, of course not! I know that GM is just breaking even when it comes to selling weather stripping, LMAO!!!! It's because the price of oil has gone up so much. Their just like the fuel companies, they sell it to us, for cost, and never see one cent for profit.

LOL! Sorry, I couldn't help it. Yes, it's the typical rip off. Sad thing is that some of that stuff is so cheaply made in China-land that it's near imposable to find anywhere else but GM.

Well i guess they need to find some way to live up to the "stealarship" nickname.

I replaced my passenger side window rubber track and the seals at the bottom between the door and glass with LMC parts. It requires two people to crank it up and down (one cranking and one helping the glass) so as not to break the crank or window regulator. I'm hoping it loosens up a bit.

 

[mr.travo]

How long ago did you replace it? Keep us posted if it does or not.

GM PN and prices

The prices the OP listed arent good guy prices...I ran them thru the gm parts place I deal with and got these prices:
#326934 $65.08
#327005 $34.98
#327006 $29.90
#14027777 $51.47
#14027778 $53.03


Heres the site: www.gmpartscheap.com
just click on parts and check multiple parts and get your price...AND GM rubber parts/weather strips ARE BETTER then the aftermarket stuff like softseal or metro (if you cant get GM then the metro gold is O.K.)

 

[mr.travo]

Hey Mutt- YOU 'DA MAN!

Thanks for the site and a way to avoid the dealership!!

 

[Sevin7]

How long ago did you replace it? Keep us posted if it does or not.

They have only been in a week or two. I will let you know if they ever loosen their grip on my window. I'm afraid that they won't any time soon though.

I replaced the rubber on my drivers side door and now it is a pita!! It takes two hands to roll up and down! This has been several months ago.
If the Chevy stuff works correctly let us know. I'll replace it again

 

[Warthog]

When you replace the windows seals, spray them down with WD-40 and let them sit in the heat for a few days/weeks. It will help mold the rubber and loosen up the DEATH GRIP they have.

A silicone spray should also help, but I haven't tried it.

I was able to get even better prices than above at

GMpartsdirect.com

I've been using them for quite some time for my other vehicles.
