2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Source for headlight welts?

[dblake]

Does anybody have a source of supply for headlight welts for a 2001? They are the rubber gasket that snaps onto the inboard side of the headlights to seal out dust and dirt that gets in between the headlights and grill. I've looked everywhere on line and dealer and no luck. Getting ready to start checking junkyards. I know it's not a critical part but if you travel a lot of dusty dirt roads they do make a difference as to how dirty it gets under your hood. Thanks.

If you cannot find exactly what you are looking for, I have no doubt that some grey or black closed cell foam tape would work by simply compressing into the gap that you want to fill. It comes in different widths and depths and is self adhesive to apply.

something like this--

Good idea. I was thinking of improvising something like that. I would prefer the stock rubber if I can find it though. It worked and looked great until it tore off with age.

Your dealer should try a little harder....tell them a played out Western Star / Freightliner guy looked them up in about 30 seconds using their system......

My Dodge link shows "Available" but notice some online Mopar sources show "unavailable"....

Several e-bay sellers have stock if that is truly the case...

I finally found some on e-bay. They were quite spendy. Hopefully I get another 15 years out of them. Thanks everybody!
