Weather strip #55277190AB discontinued

[PMedina]

The passenger side weather strip 55277190AB has been discontinued and is sold out everywhere I have looked. I'm wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find one. This is the weather strip attached to the body and is mounted at the top of the doors and runs down the A pillar. The drivers side is readily available. A good used one would also do. Thanks.

This is the one I'm looking for, but the passenger side. Geno's only has the driver side.

Can it be Reversed/Inverted or modified for the passenger side?

No, because the end down near the cowl is molded with a special profile.

Check out this part number #55275616AC
Seems it supercedes your discontinued number.

I was looking up your part with a double AA at the end it came up with above number.

Thanks Ozymandias. I looks like 55275616AC, which was used on both left and right side, was the replacement under TSB 23-008-04 and was not a reliable fix.

See:

https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/door-weatherstrip-problem-on-05.119138/


Then TSB 23-049-05 (Superseding TSB 23-008-04) came out to address the problem.

Summary of TSB 23-049-05

• Affected Vehicles: 2004–2005 Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (DR/DH models)DODGE RAM FORUM - Dodge Truck Forums
  
  
• Issue: The secondary door seal may tear from contact with the lower “A” pillar.
  
  
• Solution: Replace the secondary door seal with an improved version.
  
  
• Updated Part Numbers:
  
  • Standard Cab:
    
    • Right – 55277188AB
      
      
    • Left – 55277189AB
      
  • Quad Cab:
    
    • Right – 55277190AB
      
      
    • Left – 55277191AB
      

This is not an urgent fix, so I'm going to continue looking for 55277190AB. There has to be one available somewhere.

Thanks PigPapa. I looked at LMC and it looks like they have this for the 2nd gen but not the 3rd gen.

Yes they don't have the updated version anymore and went back to the standard Version where one fits both sides.

If you need a seal then this is better then a worn out take off from the scrap yard. My truck had them originally and an occasional tip off either Vaseline or silicon spray keeps it from being stripped by the doors edge.
