Gaskets are still available new OEM for not too many dollars.

I was questioning whether more than one door gasket or seal existed, having owned 4 different E-Series ranging from 1997 to 2005. I've never found any different part numbers or descriptions for those parts. Possibly around 2003 the front door seals were slightly different but not so much side hinged or rear doors.
I have found Ford does have them still, each one running just under $100 and of OEM quality.
If anyone has different part numbers based upon the interior trim level it would be great to share them here!
One thing often over looked is the door shell-to-body adjustment, often times hinge use and wear can cause what appears to be a seal issue. Using some sort of silicone wet-type lubrication helps keep the seals pliable making their sealing action better. After some time though seals simply need replaced due age alone.
