New replacement door seals just released
Just got mine replaced again this afternoon. For those of you who are like me and have had the door seal TSB done only to find out after so many months the so called fixed was just as lame as the original one. We you are in luck as DC has come up with a fix for the fix. Here are the new part numbers: 55277190AB and 55277191AB. This time around the fix should work as the look completely different than the ones they replace. The new door seal is tapered near the forward edge unlike the previous ones and are more soild along the taper as to avoid ripping. I'll post pic's later.

Are you saying there is another TSB now that replaces this one? I had this one done a long time ago and I thought it fixed the problem fine. The ones they replaced on my truck tapered down in the front to avoid the door corner edge from ripping the rubber.
Im looking forward to seeing the pics to see the difference. Thanks for pointing it out.
