For many years here at Steele we have been helping people find weatherstripping for their projects that don’t have an OEM replacement with our Universal Products line.
All you need to do is check out the profile of the weatherstrip you need replaced and compare it to the profiles online or in our Universal Parts catalog to find the right part. If you don’t have your original available, determine your gap size and shape using this method in our previous blog post and get a free sample for a test fit. Once you have confirmed the right profile for you, go ahead and order as much or as little as you need!
Every now and again we find solutions using our Universal products and through this blog series we will share those findings in hopes that if you run across the same need, you’ll be able to find a part from Steele to help!
One of our customers sent in a review saying they used this part- 70-4062-99 Street Rod Extrusion with Flocking on their 1965 Ford 3000 Diesel Tractor to seal the hood to cowl area. Typically, this weatherstrip is used as a replacement for a beltline on a hot rod or on a vehicle that never had one to begin with. But because Steele’s products are high quality and very durable there is no doubt it could be used for an application like this. Plus, it is Peel-N-Stick making it a super easy installation job- a big bonus.
Naturally, because we are always curious about these things and want to spread the word, we requested some pictures, and our customer was more than happy to help. It not only functions well but looks great too!
