With all thats going on in the world, I find myself looking for projects to pass the time. I would like to replace the door seal material on my 37' truck cab. Maybe I don't have the correct term to describe it (seal, windlace, ect), but I am having trouble locating anything close. I am looking for the interior door seal that is cloth bound with what might be cord inside and a flap of material for mounting around the door opening. Checked C&G, Drake, Carpenter and no luck. Maybe its not made anymore, but its worth asking here first before I give up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Take care and be safe

You are probably looking for windlace. Try Cartouche (Mac's). You can also have a local upholstery shop make some for you or they can order it already made up.

TJ, thanks for the reply. I had checked Mac’s earlier, but looked again in case I missed it. They have a lot of different wind laces and seals, but not the one for the door. The search goes on. Anyone know the original color of these? Mine had been painted over years ago. It would be nice to know should I have to try and have some made up.

Pull a kick panel and the selvage on the windlace, hidden by the panel, may give you the color. I suspect it may be black or dark green vinyl. You might also try scraping some of the paint off with a razor blade. Not sure about Cartouche, but I would think they would sell you the windlace by the foot.
