Deteriorated Door Jamb. Help!

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement for this rubber interior weather seal? It's totally shagged and I can't find out exactly what it is or where to get a replacement.

Pretty sure that is what you need. 1A is a solid place to buy from and usually lifetime warranty stuff.

Just make sure you get the set that has the plastic molded into the rubber. You'll be glad you did!

Re: Deteriorated Door Jamb. Help!

Well I can tell you that a door seal for a 75-79 Chrysler B body will NOT work.

I ordered a complete weather stripping kit for my 89 IROC and I just realized 2 days ago when I went to install them, that they had sent me the wrong seals for the doors. And they were for a 75-79 Chrysler B body lol.
