Hello all,

I am looking to replace the door gasket weatherstrip on the driver's side of my 2009 STX regular cab.

I replaced it somewhere around '13 or '14, but I observed yesterday that it's a bit chewed up and really could use some replacement.

When I looked six or seven years ago, finding a replacement was a cinch. However, since then, the passage of time has either made these more rare, or old age has diminished my googling skills. I would really prefer an OEM replacement to one of those "universal" deals.

Does anyone here know either when I can find it, or at least the part number so I can find it myself?

Thanks in advance.

BLEZ-1520709-A. (LEFT)

 

thanks

 

I see that the part number is BL3Z-1520709-B. But, there's also BL3Z-1520709-A, which looks identical when I see drawings of it.

The part numbers are the same but for the last letter. Does anyone know the difference between A and B for this particular part?

 

Both part numbers should work, but 'B' would be the latest revision. I'm not really sure how much they can improve a piece of weatherstripping... a different supplying manufacturer could perhaps initiate a new part revision?

 

I think those are the door and not the body when I looked up the part number.

 

Well, my story has an ending. When considering that tax and shipping is part of the "out the door" price, this is the best deal I could find...

I still think that money is absolutely outrageous for a piece of weather stripping. I replaced it about 8 years ago and paid ~$109. I thought that price was crazy then....

It arrived yesterday. Though very overpriced, it was of higher quality. And, I could tell a difference between the "B" part I got yesterday, and the "A" part that I installed about 8 years ago. This one seemed a little bit heavier, and the grip against the lip on the body was redesigned and tighter, so much so that to do the job properly I needed a rubber mallet and a pry tool to get everything in to perfect place.

Before installing it, I performed this procedure on it...


I have to believe adding this reinforcement will help extend the life of the gasket. If this one gets chewed up in a few years like my last one did, I'll probably have to mortgage my house to replace it again if the pattern of price insanity continues.
