I need to replace the outer door sweeps on the car. How well do the new aftermarket ones fit? I think thridgenranch, and hawks have kits for about $100. I just dont want to buy junk. Aftermarket parts are not known for fitting that well.

 

I can't speak on the reproduction parts, but I did the 4th gen sweep mod, and it looks much better. ...and nicer on your arm if it's hangin out the window!

 

I bought and installed a pair from 1A Auto. The fit was nice and it looks great. There was one hole I had to re-drill because it didn't quite line up, but I am not sure if this was just my car.

It looks like they went up in price though. I purchased mine on 3/4/15 and paid $75.40, now they are $92.95!!

Got two pair from 1A Auto for the '84 & '87. Like FBFan, had to redrill one hole on one of the cars, don't remember which one. Otherwise fit great and seal well.

 

I have never heard of the 4th gen sweep mod. My car was painted and they masked the sweep so I have a paint edge along the door now. Are the 4th gen sweeps deeper where they will cover the paint edge? Im curious about this now

 

GM Factory One's Are Still Available,But They Ain't Cheap $102

I have the 1A ones also,fit great,had to slot one hole on each side a little,much better than the cheese grater that was there before.

 

Yeah, Bradley did a nice write up. ....I added my input on page 2. Just occurred to me after looking over it that I don't have a plain, good ole finished product shot. Just pics of the work! ...lemme see if I can't find one when I get home later!!!

 

Here are some pictures of the one's from 1A Auto.
