Not sure if they will work on your '79.

Summit may have something that will work. A few places still make for the front doors, but the side cargo and rear doors are hard to find. https://www.summitracing.com/search...ubber-details/make/dodge/model/b200-van? | | | Re: 79 dodge side door rubber | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 282 Likes: 18 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 282 Likes: 18 | I dont know jack about Dodge vans but try C R Laurence.

I have used newer gaskets on the older doors with repositioning some of the clips and shortening the length a little. In a nut shell, cut a little out of that corner. | | | Re: 79 dodge side door rubber | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 336 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 336 | thanks for the answers. this is crazy. now i wish i had gotten an older one. like a 77 lol | | | Re: 79 dodge side door rubber | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,964 Likes: 63 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,964 Likes: 63 | I see a couple of the manufacturers list the seals for that year as "Out of Stock", have you contacted them to see if they are planning on producing more. Also, has anybody ever used the 71-77 years on the 78 and newer years. I do know most of the weatherstrip made for the Mids nowadays has a thicker bulb and generally the doors are tough to close after installation. A salvage or wrecking yard would probably be the best chance of finding some at a good price. | | | Re: 79 dodge side door rubber | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 |
