P1000 Pioneer 1000 lower door seals?

[MReihl]

I have not seen any discussions about lower door seals and have not seen any kits available to seal up the lower doors.
I have seen a couple of YouTube videos of people trying to seal them up, but not using high quality automotive seals like used in the hard cabs?

You havent?🤔

P1000 - Door Seals??

Tried to search didn't find anything. Anyone have a good fix for the gaps in the front doors big enough to throw a cat through?? Dust in summer and snow in winter is terrible!!

P1000 - Door Seals

What is everyone using for truck tailgate seals to stop dust from coming through door gaps and how many feet will it take to do all four doors?

Adding door Seals

Sealing doors to keep out dust in the summer and keep the heat in , in winter. I just used 3/8" foam 1" wide with glue on one side and added black silicone adhesive sealant for extra security. I put one strip on the front door pillar of each door and one on each rear door pillar. The front...

And there is more. Use the search up top and use different phrases. Although this one was easy.

Also, no pics of your rig yet! POIDH!

Here are pictures of my last two pioneers. The gray one has seals similar to the one in the build you listed. The red 3 seater has the first version of a kit I made and if you zoom in on the picture, you will see it seals very well and is mounted more permanently than just double sided tape. I will post pictures of my latest version this weekend on my brothers 3 seater.

Wait, so what's the question again?........ you've already done a good enough job of sealing the lower doors but want to know if there's a kit you can use instead???..... I'm a little confused

 

[MReihl]

Sorry, my intention was to see if anyone had seen anyone selling a kit to seal up P1000 doors so I could compare them to the one I have made. I have had a number of people that have seen mine, that are saying I should start manufacturing them. I am up in the air about it, because when you pencil it out the margins are pretty tight. Definitely would need a some decent volume to make it feasible.

Gotcha, ok that makes more sense. I haven't seen anything on the market focusing on that.......but I really haven't done a lot of research because I could use all the venting/cooling I can get. If the numbers work out you could talk to the bossman here and become a vendor. I'm sure you'd get plenty of business just from this site alone, lots of members up north here

 

[MReihl]

Thank you for the feedback, that is an excellent idea. If I decide to go forward with this, I would definitely appreciate the possibility of becoming a vendor.

I used thick automotive floor mats and rubber under them to get to the bottom of the doors. Cut it all to fit the floor layout. Worked as a floor insulator also.

@MReihl
There was a member upholstery guy from Utah, we once tried to help market his seal kits, through this forum and other.
Good quality kits, great guy, but the price point with his labor and material, didn't punch.
There are so many home cooked solutions, he couldn't get enough volume.
Don't let this deter your business model or idea...just sayin.
Good Luck

Thank you for the information, using good quality materials is a must to get them to hold up to the abuse they will be subjected too. That drives up the cost. Did this member have front and rear kits for the P1000-5? Also do you remember what he was selling his kits for? I am still working on the kit for the rear doors, but should have it completed in the next month or so. I have 3 machines running the front door seal kit currently and the only complaint I have received is the doors are now holding in heat in footwell area of the machine. I will also be making a fan kit to take care of that issue.

Thanks again
