Anyone have this too? Mine is rusting on the passenger side. The rubber on the lip molding is bulging out, and there is rust under it.

Just wondering what I can do besides replace it. Ill prbly just leave it alone and see how long it takes for the door to fall off...lol.

 

I know you said you don't want to replace it but, that's an easy to replace item. I replaced the drivers side moulding on my 96 for $35 4 years ago. Don't know todays price.

If you get a decent price, let me know, I need to do both sides.

Also, does that thing rusting out accountfor the windoe being kinda sloppy in the opening? Mine operate fine, just if there half way down and i close the door, tekinda rattle, no big deal just annoying.

 

Dealer item about $55 very easy to fix, no tools needed. Defferent part # for each side, I might have them when I get home.

Mine is too! You can see the "rust bubbles" under the rubber strip. I have a bbaadd rust problem on my truck. We need some new lower door panels

 

the part numbers for a 97 are 55275504 & 55275505. I just picked mine up at the dealer. I paid 42 bucks each.

 

Yea, my driver's side one is rusted too. I've replaced that part on other vehicles before, just pull up on it and let the clips release.
