Car Part Question

[MindyMark]

I'm getting ready to do some restoration work on my old truck and wanted to know what the name of the little piece of weatherstripping is called where the roll down window meets the door on the bottom edge.

As that may be a confusing description, I provided a picture. Thanks!

"Window Sweep" sounds right to me..

Here's what I found.

Looks like RockAuto has it too.. look under "body" then "Belt Weatherstrip / Window Scraper Seal"

Is there anywhere else to buy auto parts except RockAuto? ;-)

That looks like it! I missed it because it was under body > body belt, not body > weatherstripping. I need to keep around here more often. You are useful.

Us older guys refer to them as "dew wipes".

You know how you roll down the window in the morning to "wipe the dew"? Yeah... "dew wipes".

My sister's 2.5 year old twins wouldn't allow the car to move unless she rolled all four windows down, and back up again..

I had to try to explain dew to my 5 year old son today as he wondered why he "couldn't see out the window". I failed to utilize my dew wipes.
