Replacing door seals

Hi,
I have a 1998 Ranger 2 door and I'd like to replace the door seals (not sure if this is the correct term), to keep more heat in/water out. It goes around the entire door. Anyone know what I should be searching for/a part number?
Thanks

Try LMC Truck Parts. Online catalog, Ranger Catalog.
They carry full line of replacement seals.
You can also try Ford Parts .com, NOS Parts.com, and Steele Rubber Products.

Yeah, those seals are not cheap. And, you have to consider that some of them are new/old stock, and 20-30 years old.
Even seals for newer vehicles are expensive.
Steele is probably the most $$$ but their products are all new reproduction items. Replacing seals on an entire vehicle that your restoring can
easily run $1000 to $2000. (ask me how I know)

One trick we used at the dealership years ago. When working with weather strips that are hollow, we would run a small diameter length rubber (vacuum) hose inside the molding. You may have to try a different size to correct your issue. Or use a different size in different area's. My 97 needs this done, I have major wind noise from both doors at highway speeds. And my doors are adjusted perfectly.
