View Full Version : Door liner and the "T" weather stripping for gaps

Like most things on a beta kit car, it's a discovery process. I really wish I would have started the door install on the passenger side instead of the driver but oh well. The driver side door liner did not match the the door very well but I worked with it and actually cut apart the vertical plastic so it overlaps the fiberglass. I think this might be best for both sides as it looks more finished and if you screw in the top of the liner to the top of the door you'll have it attached pretty well. But I digress

As for the basic "T" liner that is supposed to hide these gaps, there isn't much information on it. Frost King does sell it but I have not been able to find it.

Just about every HW store has the weather gasket for the bottom of the garage door but I found this for you guys. Just order it Prime and you'll have it in a day or two.

Just use this and cut the bottom and top off and you'll have enough to do both doors! $16.

This one's already got one end cut off.

It doesn't cover all gaps though :)

And needs some trimming.

It does provide a more finished look though.

I have 5ft of weatherstrip half-moon included in my kit, #33526. But I can't tell yet if it's for doors, inner wheel wells or other.

Joe told me the BOM currently shows 10 feet ot this particular strip...

I'd love to see the current BOM to see what is supposed to be included that I didn't get 11 months ago...

You can use door edge also, I did for the fitting and it worked well.

Half moon or D stripping is usually for things like door jams trunk jams etc. this is the first time I've used this T to close a butt gap. Yeah I said butt gap. :)
