slider door lock seal

TopBud · Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2009 12:56 pm Post subject: slider door lock seal

I have been looking for a long time for a seal that goes around the door lock on the slider. The handle and the lock (where you put the Key) are separate and I am missing the seal. Does anyone know of a supplier. It is a 74. thanks in advance

You might try Chris at Busted Bus. He had one for my '76/77 buses. Not cheap, however. Smile

Those seals usually fall down inside the slider door. Open it up and you will probably find it down in the muck. Otherwise, a simple repair that seems to work rather well is to use a black garden hose washer. They fit in there nicely and it's hard to tell the difference.

Thanks. I I thought I searched all the vendors listed in the above posts, but I guess I didn't look hard enough. Thanks again

the OG one seals to the door and lock to keep water out. There is also a seal on the outer handle and a hard foam piece in their too that is near impossible to find.

I could have sworn the OG one inserted into the door and also around the lock. Kind of like a mushroom, but I might not remember correctly.
