    Toyota will have quality replacements, but Toyota parts are not cheap. https://parts.toyota.com/ they will also have good schematics to let you look over the seals and weatherstrips to see what you need to order.

    With door seals and similar rubber parts I try and go with OEM if they are available, then aftermarket if that is the only option. OEM always fits and works better and seals and weatherstripping is something you want to do once, have no issues or air/water leaks.

    I hope you're sitting down when you look up the price of those door seals on the Toyota web site. I don't recall what the cost is, but I do recall that it's insultingly high.

    Not knowing what condition are your door seals I’d recco remove and cleaning them with warm soapy water. Clean the metal body tracks as well. Once dry you can spray/rub AeroSpace 303 on the gaskets and they will look like new restored. The clean gasket will fluff up a little with the love giving you a quality seal and quiet cab.

    If they are ripped and torn then you need new ones.

    Unfortunately ripped and torn in some places I’ll take a few pics tomorrow in the light and get the consensus

    I think I paid around $110 a piece for new ones through @Roman . I tried to find something else that would be close but didn't have any luck.

    Installation was pretty easy, easier if you have a helper and if it's warm.

    If it’s the full door seal on the frame then you will need the correct one for your interior color as a bit of colored rubber trim is attached as well.

    I just replaced the 2 front window outer seals... Not cheap. The door seals on mine need replaced as well, too scared to look up price just yet.

    Best thing to do is get the factory part numbers then shop around online. Different dealers charge different amount. eBay worth checking as well.

    I think I take better care of my door seals than I do of my paint! LOL
    I use a few squirts of 303 Protectant on a corner of a rag at least once a week!
    Even the 'under-door' seals as well.
    Please keep us posted if you do a remove and replace.

    Mine are in pretty good shape in terms of not being hard or dry rot...just torn on the top outer seal...almost like keys got locked in the truck they tried to get something slid down in there to punch the electric lock...my best guess. Pics coming in a minute.

    We need a group buy for door seals. I have a 5 inch chunk or rubber missing on the B pillar driver's side, waist high.

    Pretty impressive video . . . . if you could find a 'section' of the same seal . . . 'junkyard' perhaps?
    (BTW I used this stuff to re-attach the rubber boot at the front of my Leer shell on my last truck, and it worked killer)
