Hi, the rubber weatherstripping on the outisde of the driver's door has failed and is missing, right where you would rest your arm. Crap from the trees is falling into the door. I'm going to pull the door panel off to clean it out, but I would like to find a replacement part. I've tried googling it but I can't even figure out what it is called. Help?

 

Beltline seals.

Where I bought mine is no longer in business; however, Raybuck lists it for the Gen1s.

Here's where they list for my 1988 regular cab: https://raybuck.com/product/1987-96-...e-seals-outer/

There may be other sources also; that's just one I keep a hotlink to (well, to Raybuck, anyway *grins* )

Maybe this will help. It turned out nice Precision Restoration is where I got the parts.

And where I got mine. But alas, they do not have a valid web presence anymore ...

EDIT- I tried the phone after open hours and it rang ten times no answer. ??
Found this in an old email http://prp.webshopmanager.com/
The contact page http://prp.webshopmanager.com/contact.html says they are open 9am-5pm CST so there was no answer after 5 rings when I called the number its 6:20am here on the left coast. I'd take the chance to see if they are still in business. They served me well and replaced a damaged glass channel they sent me no problem. I hope they are just offline and not out of business their products are outstanding in my book.

 

Well I cannot find anything about Precision online. I do have a suggestion for you to try. Steele Rubber http://www.steelerubber.com/

I have an old 85 Ram50 and got my rear and windshield rubber from them and they are very good quality. At least as good as the quality of beltlines and glass run channel I got from Precision Restoration Parts.

EDIT- Right after I posted this I got an email back from Derek who I dealt with at Precision Restoration Parts.

"That number is no longer active. All business is done under www.prp.com Thanks Derek"

Good Luck whatever you try.

 

onemore94dak - THANK you for that link!

I thought they had just folded ...

(Even with a site change, if at all possible, I'd've kept the old site pointing to the new one.)

FWIW the same brand (precision) is sold by jc whitney at a better price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Precision-Pa...xYTO9O&vxp=mtr

 

One more reason for saving old stuff and not throwing it out.
Ralph the guy responded with a different email addy than the one I sent to. I suspect the company may have been sold or changed hands somehow but I did not ask. I suppose you can just ask if you want to know.
Good to know 93 ragtop. Somehow they don't look right in that picture but I know the ones I got worked fine.
