Ok finally got wearherstripping installed and it was OEM brand. My doors wont shut all the way have like a 1/4 inch gap, how do u adjust door strikers to get doors to close? I really want to just take this crap off and send it back to classic industries even the small door bumpers dont fit, they fall right off.

 

Do you mean OER brand? Anyway, it's a slow process, but you can get there. I had to adjust my door strikes out to allow the door to close, then every few days adjust them in a little until I could get the door to close and line up. Leave the window down while doing this, so you're just doing the door seal, and then once it compresses start rolling the window up a little each day until it also compresses. Took me about a month to get mine finally.
The door strike should have an allen head, or torx head, and can be loosened and moved, then re-secured.

 

your right I guess i got confused cus it says just like OEM, which is funny I can just picture the factory trying to get the doors closed for a month hahaha. I emailed classic industries and they recommended using an industrial blow dryer to soften the rubber (Really?). Theres got to be some manufacturer out there that makes a better product, even the dang rubber door bumpers dont fit. I'll try and adjust the striker, but I almost want to call them and get my money back, thanks for the info :-)

 

If it's in the car and has the 3M adhesive on the ends I doubt they'll take it back. If they will, then I'd go with Metro. I've heard it's the best.
Yeah, I'm sure Chevy never had to break in weatherstripping! Too bad the company that built it originally doesn't still make it.

 

ok not sure about the door strike thing,my doors close but i got like 1/4 inch gap, so i loosened door strike to see what that would do? I cant see how that would help, I need the door to tighten up closer? I called classic industries and they told me to use an industrial heat gun, but that didnt do anything either. They did tell me customer satisfaction is 100% so they will take back even though I installed, so do you guys think I should send this stuff back? I hate to take it all off it it will work after a month, but if that metro brand will go right on and doors will close now I am tempted.

 

all right so i sent my OER weatherstripping back due to my doors wouldnt shut all the way. I bought METRO brand and same thing,man whats the deal with this after market weatherstripping am i the only one having this trbl?

 

I just ordered mine from summit. I got the door, roof rails, and trunk seal.

 

Pretty sure you'll still have to loosen the strikes and set them out to latch. Then go through the process of gradually moving them in every few days until it seats in and allows for proper adjustment.
From what I have heard Metro didn't require this, as guys said it was super soft and their doors closed and latched fine when new. Have you contacted Metro and asked them for suggestions?

 

ya mine are the metro kind, all I have put on so far is the roof rail weatherstripping though.

 

no reply yet from metro or steves camaros where i bought kit
