My 1985 Vanagon doesn't seem to have had this top door seal from the factory. Why should I add this seal now?

That's a great observation! While this upper door lip seal wasn't original equipment on Vanagons through 1987, upgrading with it can significantly improve your driving experience. It helps reduce wind noise that often creeps in around the doors, making for a quieter ride. Plus, this high-quality reproduction makes installation straightforward.

Will this upper door seal kit fit both my sliding door and my driver's side door on my 1990 Vanagon?

Yes, absolutely! This kit is designed for all Vanagon models from 1980-1991, including all trims and transmissions, 2WD and 4WD. The kit includes one length of seal that you simply cut in half to perfectly fit the upper lip of both your side sliding door and your driver's door.

How difficult is it to install this Vanagon door seal? Do I need special tools?

Installation is designed to be pretty straightforward and doesn't require special tools. We recommend applying a light coat of contact cement to the door lip, carefully positioning the seal, closing the door to set it, and then completing the installation. It's a DIY-friendly upgrade.

I've heard door seals can be expensive or hard to find. Is this GoWesty door seal a good value?

We understand that parts availability can be a concern. GoWesty produced this high-quality, USA-made reproduction because this specific upper door lip seal had been unavailable for a long time. It's our goal to offer OEM-quality parts at an affordable price, and this seal is no exception. You're getting a durable solution that enhances comfort.

Tous les Vanagon jusqu'en 1987 ne venaient pas avec ce joint — les Vanagon de modèles plus récents profitent de tous les avantages, n'est-ce pas ? Désormais, tout propriétaire de Vanagon peut installer ce joint supérieur pour le contour de porte ! Il est très facile à installer et aide à réduire le bruit du vent. Ce joint en particulier est obsolète depuis un certain temps, nous avons donc décidé de le fabriquer nous-mêmes ici, aux États-Unis. Le résultat est une reproduction parfaite de qualité d'origine à un prix très abordable.

Le produit comprend : Un joint d'une longueur suffisante pour les deux contours supérieurs de porte. Il suffit de le couper en deux et de l'installer !

Conseil d'installation : Appliquez une fine couche de colle de contact, pressez-le en place, fermez la porte, et vous voilà à un pas d'une agréable conversation tranquille !

Super

Nice quality

Great fit

Fit great, look even better. Less wind noise. Would be easiest if installed prior to new door seal.

Just what the Dr ordered. 🤙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great quality and plenty to cover both doors. Cut it off at a taper on the ents so it doesn't get caught on the door frame. Just what the Dr ordered. 🤙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

???

didn't fit on my van for some reason?

Don't forget contact cement

Need contact cement to install, so don't forget it!

Nice addition

works well

It’s a seal

I was really hoping it would stop the whistle noise at 40mph but it did not, I’ve given up on trying to get it to stop, it does help with some wind noise but nothing is going to keep it all out. Could use some tips or tricks for install, it’s hard to tell exactly where it supposed to start and stop from the pictures online.

Works

Easy install. Def cut it at the top of the door like they instruct. I glued mine down to have "more" sealing and it made the door harder to shut. its worth it for a few $$

Door seals

Do not fit well. Do not close the gap well. Is not quite enough for both sides Does not adheres well

Hi Chris, sorry to hear the seal isn't long enough and that you're having a hard time getting it to glue to the door frame. What kind of glue are you using, and would you like us to send you another piece?
