BELT WEATHER STRIP

[TORNIT07]

I'm trying to take care of all those little issues that have gone unchecked for too many years now. One is the weather strip for the glass on each door. The average price for three of them are in the $160.00 range for each one. However, the driver's door weather strip is around $330.00 plus shipping!!!! This is nuts. Have any of you folks dealt with this issue yet? Is there anywhere to purchase this that's a bit more reasonable?

Even at $160-ish for the other ones seems ridiculously high for what it is, IMO.

I don’t have a source for you.

Recently I replaced the LF door belt line molding on my son’s 2014 Ram 1500 that was warped. It was black rubber, not chrome, and was also very expensive.

Most used / most worn / most replaced. Supply and demand.

Mine is also black rubber. So, to replace all four it'll be around $1,000. For freaking weather strips. I'll be investing in a cover to protect my weather strip investment. Maybe I won't have to replace them again in this lifetime.

Yes. I understand that, but it's still gouging IMHO. Besides, how many people actually replace the things? I'd wager not many.

Oh, I don’t disagree at all. Every auto vendor is participating in this gouging freefall. I just had to pay $1250 for a window regulator for a Dodge Viper, where every other Dodge product is $200-$300.

Had the same issue on our 09 weatherstripping. Go to a junk yard and look for some good quality ones and pay $20 per.
