Steele Rubber Products is planning/working on having all of our door seals available, making it a one stop shop for all our door seals. While convenient they are not always the best deal for generic seals. If you find another supplier, feel free to link them here and I will update this post to include them.

Here is an option for the drip rails above both front doors and the slider: https://amzn.to/32jpimo
Generic front door seals: https://amzn.to/3qaIs6h
Front door glass outside weatherstrip rubber/felt/fuzzies, ride against the glass on the outside GM15757529 are over $100 each when you can find them, here is an aftermarket that requires just a little bit of trimming should work on all years: http://amzn.to/2z1fnii
Sliding door seal, Fairchild says it will fit through 94, but it should fit all years https://amzn.to/3vx558S


Don't forget that GM recommends silicone grease 1x per year for maintenance, more in damp/cold areas.

Freaking awesome work from Steele Rubber Products!

From 1992-2005 Rear Dutch-Door Liftgate Window Seal Set https://www.steelerubber.com/hatch-wind ... 70-4083-85

Steelerubber.com said:
Part Number: 70-4083-85
Price: $93.69/set
This rear liftgate window seal set reproduction is designed from the original part for superior fitment and seal. This three (3) piece set works to provide a tight seal between the closed rear window liftgate and the body of the vehicle.

Note: The center piece seal must be cut to length for best fit and then molded ends attached to the center piece.

The center seal is ninety two and one quarter inches (92-1/4") long to provide coverage.
Designed from original part so it fits correctly.

End piece attachment bonding can be done with our Loctite Super Bonder 495, 96-0495-96 to make a one-piece gasket.

I have leaks in both the top rear and on the side door so I may need to pick up some sets too.
Interested in any feedback, but will definitely post up when I do.

Great information! I will definitely have to keep that SRP source in mind. I did find a very serviceable upper drip lip in a Pick-A-Part recently, and feel very lucky to have been able to salvage it. They are getting very scarce.

I just spent most of two weeks drying out the back of my '98.
I didn't know I had a leak until I tried to get in on my knees a while ago. Western Washington is known for rain, but this last couple of months has been wetter than most.
I found source of the leak was at the end of the lower pinch weld, where the side pinch weld and the lower one do not meet. Poor weather stripping is most likely contributing, but the water was getting inside ( into the carpet) , through the low spot between the two sections of the pinch weld .
The van was also parked on a bit of a side slope, so the water wanted to puddle in the slight depression at the end of the flat ledge in the door opening. The low spot is almost right at the gap in the pinch weld
After I got the plastic trim strip and the carpet up to air out, and a little heat and fan in there for over a week, it was all dried out.
I used a couple of lengths of thick Butyl rubber I got from a windshield repair shop. ( It is about 1/2' wide and nearly as thick) I laid a length on each side of the floor pinch weld and part way up the edge welds. The butyl rubber is very tacky and very moldable, if you can keep from having it stick to your fingers. I molded it over the pinch weld so it is a solid strip from end to end, and re-installed the trim piece. After two weeks of nearly steady rain, all is still dry.
i just joined this list recently. Finding this group was as a result of looking for information on this very subject of A/S weather stripping , but after the fact.
I am sorry I didn't think of taking pictures, when I did the work, and I was not sure it was going to be so successful. :) Fingers crossed! :)

Good news, but disappointing to me. I just bought the same drip rail for the Dutch doors. Not only is mine 52" but the cutouts for the hinges aren't a great fit. If this plain 53" version had been available last week, I would have bought IT and made my own cutouts. This is something dutch-door owners should keep in mind.

They also finally updated the cargo door listing so now it correctly says cargo instead of dutch door.
