[@AZHighlandHomestead]

$9.95 per side isn’t a bad price to pay for smooth closing doors. Subscribed

Thanks for this video even though I'm 2 years late to the party. I was going nuts trying to figure out the issue with my 1979 GMC Sierra 15 Heavy Half. Again Thanks!!!!

[@impetus444]

Thanks man! Sweet truck too! I just brought home a 78 Cheyenne so I think I'm going to be watching a lot of your videos :)

[@OldGrumpsGarage]

old step square is looking good. Great video!

[@WrenchAtHome]

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@SnakebiteCortez]

Thanks brother! My Burb needs door adjustments too. this helps a ton.

[@dkrems739]

loving the videos man. literally all things i have to do to my truck

[@WrenchAtHome]

Thank you, really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@ScottyCrawford]

TO ANYBODY WATCHING: Would you kindly tell me which of your tools DOES fit into the Torx ("Star") fitting on your door striker correctly? (T50 won't go in, T47 much too loose, no such thing as a size 47 Torx Plus.) I have the original striker, GM brand.)

I just used a pipe wrench cause I stripped mine

[@ScottyCrawford]

@@jae.boucher1296 Yep, that's what I wound up doing eventually. Took that sucker off like it was rocket-driven, Man!

[@bonearzt]

Actually looks like a standard Allen wrench would fit

Has you lowered your truck ? How was it lowered and how much ? Are your wheels 15's ? Thank you Steve

[@WrenchAtHome]

The truck has indeed been lowered by a previous owner. I don’t know how they did it and I don’t know how high it used to be before they lowered it, but it’s low enough with all the speed bumps we have over here. The wheels are 15 inch Prime 22 wheels from Prime Wheel Corporation!

Hi, please what is the outer diameter of the new plastic insert. I would make it myself at home. Thank you

[@WrenchAtHome]

I don't know where you are from, but I've seen a lot of peope using PEX tube as a replacement for the plastic bushing, you could get that at Home Depot. The sizing would be a 3/4" long piece of 1/2" diameter. Thanks for watching!

[@martin971]

@@WrenchAtHome Hi, I'm from Czech Republic. Europe. I have a C10 Cheyenne. I will look for the tube in our hobby shops. Thank you for the advice. -)

[@WrenchAtHome]

Nice! Alright, so that must be metric system, 1/2" is 12,7 millimeters diameter. I think PVC tube will work as well. Good luck!

[@jamesbergman4917]

A lot of times the problem with closing these doors after replacing weather seals is that the air can not escape because the cab does not have a vent to relieve pressure. Open a window and see if you get the same result.

[@WrenchAtHome]

That is a great tip, thanks!

My rust holes are my vents:\

[@Hammerback0]

Door pins worn out? (Passenger side door)

[@WrenchAtHome]

Could very well be! Thanks for watching

[@Hammerback0]

Thanks for sharing! I just done the 1/2” pvc tube and black tape on door striker and fixed my door! Yay!
