Door Weatherstripping

[justacruzr2]

Anybody ever get door weatherstripping for your GP and it was right? I bought a set from Metro which was supposedly for the Monte and the GP but it isn't correct. The ends are too fat. I couldn't even close the doors. If you did. could you please point me in the right direction for the correct ones? Thanks.

GM parts are the only ones that are "right". Everything aftermarket fits like sh*t in my experience.

Keep an eye out for GM p/n's 20277448 and 20277449. Dig deep, pay once, cry once, then be happy.

Thanks and boy ain't that the truth. Not only that but when I opened the box there were 2 right side ones. It doesn't work that way. Right and left are the reverse of each other. Happy New Year!

Checked those numbers today and they come up as for the Monte Carlo. Grand Prix door weatherstrips are not the same as the Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo does not fit correctly. That is what I am saying in my original question above. And from what I see on the web they are all wrong. The GP gets orphaned again.

Not that he needs me to defend him, but the numbers 69hurstolds gave you are correct for Pontiac G37 models through 87 as called out in GM parts literature

Years ago i bought the entire Metro Weatherstripping kit for my LeMans, It Fits well. No trimming or "Make it fit" Scenarios et. The only thing that wasn't to my liking is the Upper Door felts Inner/Outer. Cheap plastic strip, vs the Metal GM had and the holes don't line up. I didn't want to drill new ones into my Door (I couldn't anyway) where the opening holes were behind the door glass even down. I'm going to buy NOS GM soon at least for the Inner.

Here's what I dug into for these weathestrips.

For the 37 coupe, Monte Carlo for '78-'88 & Grand Prix for '81-'87 will be 20277448 RH & 20277449 LH. I don't have access for a Pontiac '76-'81 parts list so I'm not directly including '78-'80 but I'd say they will use the same p/n's as '81-'87.

As already noted for 27 coupe & 80 pick up delevery Malibu for '78-'81, El Camino & Caballero '78-'87 uses the 20008188 RH & 20008189 RH. Again with the Pontiacs, the '78-'81 Lemans & '78-'80 Grand Am no p/n access but due to the fact those do share the same doors I'll also include them as using these p/n's.

Here's something of note, the 09 aero back coupe, '78-'80 Century & Cutlass use the 20008188 RH & 20008189 LH.

Then there is the 47 coupe, this is what will be something to note. The '78-'80 Regal & Cutlass also use the 20008188 RH & 20008189 LH, but the '81 Regal & Cutlass goes with p/n's 20201220 RH & 20201221 LH. These are also listed for '82-'87 Regal & '82-'88 Cutlass. I don't have access to '83-'87 Buick books but since the same door is on bath the Regal & Cutlass I'm also including those years.

This should be a good reference to guess what OE p/n interchanges with which coupe.

Yeah, I had the same trouble with weatherstripping. Got one from Metro, supposed to fit both Monte and GP, but no luck. Ends were too fat, doors wouldn't close. Found the right one eventually. Try looking at [Insert Brand/Store].
