Dodge Dakota Auto Glass Seals

The Dodge Dakota is a mid-size pickup truck with both two-wheel and four-wheel drive options. Doors, windows, and auto glass on the vehicle provide necessary components of functionality and safety. Each of these openings in the frame of the truck requires a seal to keep out water, dust, and dirt.

• Hearing more wind noise than usual through a closed window or feeling a draft may be signs of worn seals in your Dodge.
• Moisture from rain or snow dripping in through a closed window could mean a worn seal.
• Inspect the seal around the door. If you find that it is cracked or has a hole, it needs to be replaced.
• Push on the seal to see if it springs back when you remove your finger. If the seal has lost its elasticity, it should be replaced.

Finding the correct seal for your Dodge Dakota starts with accurately identifying the model year of your truck as well as the exact seal you would like to replace. Use this information to get the correct seal for your Dodge.

There are both Dodge factory and aftermarket seals available. Factory seals will reliably fit into the channel and screw-holes will line up with the openings in the channels. However, many aftermarket seals fit and function just as well. Before removing the old seal, line up the new one with the door to make sure that it is a good fit for your Dodge Dakota.

Some automotive seals come with adhesive strips and backings attached, and some do not. It’s useful to pay attention to the lack or presence of this feature when making your purchase so that you are prepared with all of the necessary materials for installation. It is important that the Dodge should not sit without a seal for an extended period of time.

It is possible getting a replacement for the door seal will help reduce or eliminate rattles if the rattling can be attributed to a bad seal. Having a bad seal will allow wind, dirt, dust, rain, and other environmental elements to enter the Dodge Dakota, both when it is in motion and when it is parked. A seal that has lost its elasticity may rattle in the door channel due to the effects of air flow.
