I am 10 years in and need to replace my door weatherstripping.



Anyone wish to share what they are using (Part number / Source?)

That would depend on which method you used to do the original weatherstripping. I used the 3/8X7/32 from McMaster Car available here https://www.mcmaster.com/door-seals/water-and-weather-resistant-hollow-foam-rubber-surface-mount-seals/I left as much door frame material as possible and put this in the channel to be compressed as the door closes. Others used something like this https://www.mcmaster.com/door-seals/oil-resistant-push-on-seals-with-bulb-on-side/. 

They ground away enough of the door frame to push this on the edge to give a good seal. The original choice and current fit will determine what will work as a replacement.

I did not modify my door frame for the Grainger seals. I got my seals from https://www.aircraftdoorseals.com/categories/vans-aircraft/rv-10.htmlCall and verify to get what you need, as the price was about double what is shown, earlier this year. Easy to install, seems to be fine so far. 	  Quote:

Ten years as well and going thru the       same process.  I originally used the Mcmaster 'with bulb on side'       seal  so I'm replacing with same.  Some recent searches turned up       some very detailed videos on how to best do this style of seal I       hope to improve my original install (or not).

     

     

     Completely OT: Major avionics brain       upgrade from G430w to Avidynes IFD plug compatible replacement.        Wow, it really works without fuss or muss.  Install completed in       an hour or two and everything on my GRT panel works as before. Now       I just have to learn how to use it.
