    I'm pretty sure I've seen the marker gasket sets, albeit $50+ thru Year 1, but anyone know if tail light gaskets are available?

    Wow, haven't heard that name in a few years -I did get my weatherstrip kit from them a few years back now that I recall - will definitely check them out again.

    Thanks all for the leads!

    No ! you can blow your nose through them. Id find a decent original pair myself. Yet another disapointing reproduction part.

    the cars' marker gaskets are plastic; i believe the originals were rubber. now that was back in 2004 when i purchsed them. i also purchased the tailight gaskets at the same time. they were okay.

    The repro gaskets for the tail lights suck. I lucked out and found NOS. As far as the side marker lights original rears were softish rubber and the fronts were plastic like the repros. Not sure how good the rear repros of the side markers are.

    On the subject of the tail light gaskets, mine have shrunk, and gotten hard after laying out uninstalled for too many years. Im afraid if I try to stretch them out to fit the tail lens they will just rip. Any one know of a way to soften up the gaskets so I can reuse them?
