Default Rear and front door gasket seals weatherstrip

Hi! Hope everyone is well!

I've been trying to isolate why I continue to get exhaust smell in my van. I've improved the situation a bit by patching a rust leak near the exhaust pipe and sealing up window gaskets, but I think the main problem is the rear doors weatherstrip/gasket being cracked and worn.

Does anyone know where I can find replacement weatherstrip for a 1994 B350 van? The front doors also need to weatherstripping, but that can wait.

Thanks for any help!

I would start by inspecting the system for leaks. Does your exhaust pipe exit out the side behind the rear tire?

I have a new exhaust system with no leaks. Biggest mistake was bypassing catalytic converter... regardless of leaks, the exhaust is so strong smelling I can't really have any windows open. The exhaust exits to the drivers side of the van not the rear unfortunately.

I do need to replace the weatherstrip due to condensation too. Any ideas where I can find weatherstrip that will fit?

As a get you by, you may try to get some general stick on weather stripping from Home Depot and put it on the body so the doors seal against it. As I said, a suggested temporary fix.

I have found the front and side doors, not the back. Only the two door style. That is definitely the biggest design flaw on these bad boys. Too heavy on the hinges. I'll keep looking! Thanks!
