My first post thanks for allowing me to join. On my 4th Ranger now a 2011 slightly used in service April 2012. 15 thou KM and mint. I noticed and local Ford canot give me a definative answer regards the weather stripping that goes all around the cab, this being the extra cab with the extra doors. The weather stripping directly above the doors both sides has a contour dip in it down wards. All my other Rangers the weather striping was strictly tubular right across the top of the door no dip. They say the dip is normal and dont really know and are not willing to bring in a replacement because if its correct with a dip they are stuck.............fair enough.This issue is bothering me as i dont know if for sure the dip is correct or i have defective weather stripping. Maybe there was change but i cannot figure out why?, why would there be a dip about 6 to 8 inches of the weather stripping above the doors., pretty much dead enter of the front door windows. Anyways since the Ford dealer is guesing i was hoping some one with a 2011 could look at their weather stripping and let me know if there was change 2011 or a year or so earlier. Like i say all my other rangers including a 06 the strip was completly tubular or round in shape right across the top of the door..................the two on my 2011 dip................hard to tell if they are moulded or defective and local ford guesses they are correct!.Thanks Steve

I have an 2011 4 dr SuperCab and there is a bump up in the weather strip where the top latch is for the rear door. If you want I will get a pic tomorrow since it is getting dark here now.
Thanks for your input George.In this picture you can see the dimples from rear door.My concern is the 6 to 8 inches below the breather hole on weather strip directly above center of main door.Its pretty obvious if its a defect if someone also has a 2011.The downward lip sticks out like a sore thumb but idont know if its a design change or a flaw. All my other Rangers it was a straight tubular strip..............thats not to say it did not change in 2011 or prior.I need to find out and the local ford is not much help.Steve..............maybe even a 2010 would tell the story.
Here are pictures of both the top and bottom weather strip on my 2011 SuperCab I bought my truck new the end of July 2011. Mine shows a little bit of what yours is showing. I do not remember if it was this way when new. I have 18K miles on mine.
Thanks for the pictures george.Yours does not look right either.............i think it should be smooth round tubular looking. Maybe they changed the material and its not keeping its shape. Maybe some one else will chime in. Found some online at dealers for sale with pictures of Rangers 2011 and they look perfectly round. Does not make sense or serve any purpose for it to look the way it does. I will persue further.Thanks Steve
