why you really need new? Heard there is a trick with some small tubing that you run inside the weather stripping and it makes it contact a lot better.

do the door seal mod with the 3/8" od tubing and youll get it done for about 16 bucks. quiets the truck and keeps the doors from rattling...

I need info on this too. I have wind noise on the tops of my doors. I Don't know why, but it almost looks like my doors are pulled out on the top. The wind is really bad when i put my camper on. It stretches the cab. So 3/8" od tubing will work huh? What kind of tubing?

I don't think it is 3/8", 5/16" is the largest I have heard and you want the soft silicone type, soak it in some warm water with a lot of dishwasher soap, this will make it slide through the hole in the weather stripping and the silicone tubing won't make it hard to close the door.
JC Whitney has replacement weather stripping
