Ford F-350 Auto Glass Seals

Keep the elements where they should be with a set of Ford F-350 weather stripping components protecting your vehicle’s interior. Made for your cab windows, hood, and rear windows, F-350 auto glass seals keep moisture and dirt out of your vehicle while sealing in warm or cool air from your Ford climate-control system. Kept in good shape, the right weather stripping set can add to the durability of your super duty truck.

What is Ford F-350 weather stripping?

There are tiny gaps between the edges of each of the doors, window, liftgates, and other openings on your Ford F-350 Super Duty pickup. These gaps allow you to open and close various hatches. However, these gaps can also let water, mud, and other road debris into your cab. Weather stripping is a soft, waterproof, and weatherproof polymer that fits snugly into these openings. It keeps liquids and other unwanted contaminants out of your engine compartment and cab interior. At the same time, it helps to seal in warm air during cold weather and cold air from your air conditioner during hot weather.

While most are similar in construction, many different kinds of weather stripping exist. Some varieties that you are likely to come across as you search for replacements include:

  • Windshield seals: These hardy pieces of weather stripping work with the molding to maintain tight seals.
  • Window sweeps: Sweeps seal and protect the upper edges of your Ford F-350 passenger- and driver-side windows.
  • Channel seals: Channel protectors fit into the inner edges of your Ford driver- and passenger-side windows. When you roll up your windows in wet weather, the channel seals trap and remove moisture, thus helping to improve your field of view.
  • Belt weather stripping: Belt stripping helps to keep dust, mud, water, and other substances out of your vehicle.
  • Back-window seals: The F-350 back window needs sealing and protection too, and the back-window seals provide it.
What holds Ford F-350 weather stripping in place?

You may need a way to keep your Ford vehicle’s weather stripping in place when the time comes to invest in upgrades or replacement. The good news is you have several seal-fastening options to choose from. Some sealing methods are:

  • Weather-strip adhesive: Specially formulated for car and truck window-sealing, weather-strip adhesives are strong, durable, and weather-resistant. They also stand up to extremes in temperature, driving-related vibrations, and frequent door closing.
  • Clips: Clips are another fastening option. They snap into place relatively quickly, and you can remove them relatively quickly.
  • Screws: Somewhat more permanent than clips, screws usually work in tandem with adhesives to form strong, lasting bonds with door and window frames.
What are manufacturing gaps for the Ford F-350?

Your Ford model F-350s doors and windows need to move, and manufacturing gaps help make this possible. They are spaces left by the various types of vehicle-specific weather-stripping parts. For example, your F-350 rear door and window have a specific set of dimensions. Seals with manufacturing gaps fit these dimensions just right. Thus, it is important for you to ensure that any replacement seals match the specifications of your F-350 trim.
