:dontknow: I just noticed this today. Looks like Chrysler didn't think this part through. The driver side door has been tearing into this and I didn't even know. What's worse is the passenger side is showing subtle signs of the same problem. Does anyone know if this is a warranteed item? :confused:

There was a TSB dealing with the door seals. If you still have a warranty they should be fixed for free, maybe free anyways being a TSB and all.:idea:

All thew 04's and some 05's had these now upgraded recalled.:rock: :rock:

Yeah, I still have warranty. I wish I saw that last week when the truck was in the dealershop... Looks like I will have to take a trip back for this issue.

Call First, and have them order it otherwise youll have to go back again anyways because they probably wont have it there.:D
 
Scroll up........TSB posted finally:eek: :2in1: :D
 
Thanks Wifey. I'm calling my service writer tomorrow with that part number so he can get the ball rolling. Does it cover the passenger side too?..... Nevermind, the new bulletin states that it does.
 
Oh,but of coarse grasshopper:p :D ;)

Mine looked just like that. It took 20 minutes to change both of them out. The new seal that is not raised in the spot that contacts the door. Make sure you get them to change both at since they will both eventually do it. I would call ahead as mentioned, the service guy said that they are very often not in stock. It appears that my work order has them listed as 55277190AB & 55277191AB

Technical Service Bulletin.
 
i also had mine replaced there is a new updated version so it wont do this again. it still needs to be replaced under warranty.
 
I got mine replaced last year. Had to get them ordered in (2 days). Took the truck over....didn't even turn it off...10 minutes...sign the work order...$0.00....DONE.

The weatherstrip seals are a MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. That means 3 yrs./36,000 miles....no charge...regardless of ownership.

Bill- if you think the Dodge warranty is rough, try it on a Z06. :)
