Door opening/weatherstripping replacement

[rex in bama]

Can’t seem to find any “how to” regarding replacing this piece (as you can see, torn up by someone trying to get into the car) - wondering if anyone has any guidance before I start popping things out. Seems like I might only have to remove the kick panel. Does the weatherstripping just push into place? Thanks for any help/guidance you can give.

Pretty straight forward. They just go on the edge there. I removed all mine when I was doing my headlinder removal.

Yeah it just pushes in. You actually start at that corner. Some have used silicone spray to make it slide in easier but I was lucky and didn’t need it.

I recently took the 80 down to the Pine Barrens to explore some forest roads. As I hit a decent size mud hole, a ton of muddy water entered the truck. Initially I thought it was through the cracked windows, but it actually came through the gasket surrounding the tailgate/hatch. After closer inspection, that seal needs to be replaced as it is completely blown out.

At a bit of a crossroads here as I am planning to hit the Rubicon Trail in summer 2020 and when I return I'd like to get the truck resprayed. Would all of these door and trunk weatherstripping seals typically be replaced during a respray? I'm trying to decide whether I should just replace the trunk seal now or do all the doors as well. Don't want to buy the same parts twice.

Not with my truck right now, but aren’t those door seals clipped in? So couldn’t they be removed and reinstalled?

Thanks! Do you run the risk of pulling out the headliner with it?

No, its simple

anyone have the oak trim part numbers handy? I had them somewhere, but I think I could only find gray?

 

[rex in bama]

I did not even have to specify gray, it looked like that was all that was available from Mr. T

 

[Overland Tailor]

Only available in Gray and only 3 of the 4 available

Oak is not even available outside the US (Japan / UAE)


Gray Part Numbers:

Has anyone found a similar extrusion that would work in its place?

Not sure, but I wonder if you could paint it to match, maybe with something like SEM color coat.

Someone might make something similar. While watching the video of Joe Rogan's FZJ80 after the $150,000 total rebuild, it appeared that they may have installed a non-OEM part at that location. Not sure however.

Bump..just bought the fronts thinking they were oak for some reason and received the gray molding. Anyone try painting these dudes? Can't imagine spray paint would hold up well as it's a soft/pliable rubber. Maybe a stain?

In the same boat. Unknowingly got the gray and later found out the cream were NLA.

I bought a few shades of this paint to try and mix it to match. Haven't found the right mix yet, but in my initial tests, the paint did stick nicely and flexes well. When I do get around to finding the right mix, it will be tedious to brush paint them, but I'm sure it will work.

Went ahead and installed them as is, the gray color is not that noticeable from the outside since I've got silver paint. Inside the cab it's more obvious, I'll try not to look at it...

That’s what I did..masked off the rubber and sprayed the grey to oak with classic leather dye’s product
