Gen 2 GTS Outer Stanchion Cover weatherstrip upgrade/replacement

[SnakeWatching]

Knowing that the Gen 2's have issues with the weatherstripping for the Outer Stanchion Cover on the GTS (Part MS80RX8 passenger and MS81RX8 driver):

1) Replacements are hard to get (if even still available for drivers side).

2) It is very expensive to purchase a whole cover just to replace the weatherstrip.

3) Original attachment is weak and can pop off if pressed hard.

I am pursuing getting this issue solved for both Driver and Passenger side.

I would like to make weatherstrip so it is stronger than OEM and an easy replacement process while looking OEM (at a reasonable cost).

I could use items below if anyone can help me (PM me please).

A) old weatherstrip piece (any length or condition) and/or junk outer Stanchion for testing (don't want to tear mine up just yet, unless I have to).

B) any old drawing or OEM spec on who made the weatherstrip for Dodge (and the dimensions if possible).

NOTE: This will take time (I am a busy guy).

To gauge interest >> Who would be interested in the final product? (if my part works out).
