Made to Fit and Last

Quality, Dependability and Appearance are not promises - rather, they are expectations for every part you purchase to restore your vehicle. At Steele Rubber Products, we've been restoring our own cars before we made our first rubber parts - so, we understand that quality craftsmanship and dependable performance are expectations. We only build parts that we would put on our own cars!

Real Car People

Our product specialists are not just weatherstripping experts, but are also automotive enthusiasts. Like you, we love old cars and we speak your language. We promise to do everything we can to help find the proper rubber solution for your vehicle - and treat your car, truck or street rod like it's our own.
