If you search for "door and seal" the first thread titled window seal is one of many that George recommends Brown BA-10055-1 for the window and T-9088 for the doors.

I've seen these installed and they look as good as any I've seen. After trying several locally available seals I'm ordering these from Brown.

Here is the thread:

I have my doors off and I am doing mine right now.i purchased both from Brown....i made the mistake of not buying a long enough window seal...so i had to reorder another 10ft chunk. The biggest problem was cleaning the old glue off.

OK Jeff how much door and window materal do you need?

That's a BA-1055-1.

From the installation instructions:

"Caution! Passengers can damage the seal by dragging their feet across the seal or stepping on the seal when getting into and out of the plane. Ask your passengers to please step into the plane and not drag their feet across or step on the door seal. The door seal is durable and should last for many years and can be easily repaired if damaged or torn."


Marcys 1994 Jag has that problem as all 88-1995 XJ sedans. It's a big deal as they really get torn up fast. "Ask your passengers to please step into the plane....." Sure, like that's going to work. They don't even listen when I tell them I'll close their door.

I used the Piper seal George turned me on to (help with part# please George ) I have to say it really worked out nice and is very durable.

Of course, in the plane, the Brown Aircraft PN T-9088 seal is installed on the door...not the door-sill (like a car) and if the pax's physiological condition meets the FAR's for carriage, they would not be able to step on it.

I bought the aircraft door seals. They really took up the space that was leaking air. Have to now really push on doors to close. I had enough material left over to do the baggage door. Liked them so much bought them for my wife's 172, they gave me a nice discount on the second set. No problem with anyone skuffing them, they are rugged.

Be careful installing door seals that are so thick they require excessive effort to close the doors... They will overstress your doors and destroy your forward door hinges...and THAT is a part that is hard to find, and expensive when you find it.

One of the 140 guys had a a run of original Cessna style door seals made up. I don't know how it compares to original 170 seals, but might be worth checking out by someone who does. Can't beat the warranty: If you mess up the installation, he will replace it.

Bruce...i think the 25 ft i bought for the doors is going to be about right. The windows i would buy about 15-16 ft or so. I hope to get time to work on it this weekend. I have a 52 and would like to see a pattern for the winter kit...or find a place to buy it...including the oil cooler cover.

Great one George

hey guys, this is a place I got a flyer from may not be approved for aircaft but is probably does meet the 48-56 vechile equipment that was originally installed. http://www.trimlok.com they have all kind of rubber trim. Ron

Does anyone have any experience with Aircraft Door Seals our of Roanoke, TX? Are their made-for-170 door or window seals adequate?
