Im out of town and hanging at a buds house. I cant post pictures but I will when I get home. We went to replace his inner and outer window sweeps with some that he bought from LMC. I should have checked them before I pulled the old ones out. When we went to snap in the first new OUTER one we noticed that there is absolutely NO lip on the outer part of the outer sweep. The original one has about a 1/8th inch lip on the outside that is supposed to drape or somewhat seal or roll over the edge of the door. These do NOT. They have NO LIP AT ALL. Now it would not normally be an issue but we have a paint/tape line from the last paint job that we really need to hide.

1)Does anyone know if any vendors sell these sweeps that are correct replacements with a lip on both sides of the outer sweep

2) or...Does anyone have a good condition used original outer sweep. We need the passengers side but will take both sides.
