Looking for the missing link...

I have looked and looked for the drivers door rubber n' chrome impact strip for my 91 LE. Are there only a few of them left in the U.S.? I've had more luck finding parts for my 36 chevys than the rubber moulding for that door! lol Seriously though any help would be greatly appreciated.

Btt... this is the hardest thing I've looked for in my life. And I honestly thought they would have this in abundance in old stock at an auto body warehouse. you can order it new, it comes in a roll and you cut as much as you need but, its not the right style. I'm not quite sure who set it up in the aftermarket parts computer system as 91-93 dodge LE moulding is 2 1/4 in. wide with a 1/2 in. chrome strip down the center but they did. At least EVERYTHING is done by overseas vending these days.....

Yep, they don't carry it either. I'd be happy with a used one. I've got to re-chrome the rest of the ones on the truck any way so as long as the rubbers nice, cracked and yellowed chrome doesn't bother me at all.

Good luck. Darn near impossible to find. Extinct at dealers, Body shops use the old stuff or buy cheap knock off that looks like it.

Luckily i found a 92 club cab in the boneyard that had all of it in non bad shape.

I'm not quite for sure if it's the same or not. I think at some point I read that they were different but maybe someone can clear this up for me. Is the 91 and 92 the same as the 93 as far as the LE trim?

The 91 - 93 molding has been unobtanium fo years.
There is a similar molding available in rolls, but it's not a great match.

For the door seals, search on EBAY (ramcharger weatherstrip)
Youll find them.
As 4 the body mouldings i have found none other than used.
I wanted to keep them on mine but didn't want old faded stuff so i filled in the holes and said GOOD-BY to em.
