Getting a good seal on the doors
Getting a good seal on the doors
What would be the best way to seal the doors, specifically around the windows, to keep water out?
I was powerwashing my Z the other day, and when I opened my door I noticed a few droplets of water on the seats.
Not that this is a problem or an issue of any kind... I know these things happen with our cars, it's just the way it's designed.
Anway, I just wanted to know of maybe a good way to get a better seal on the doors? I'm not looking to jimmy-rig it, but rather do a high quality finish on it, and have a great, permanent seal on the doors.
Any suggestions or what materials I could use?

Thanks, man... that's a pretty useful site. I'll bookmark it.
But... the problem isn't with the windows. I mean, it seals great in that department.
Where the water is coming through is right where the back of the door and the window meet. If I look at the seals on the chassis of the car in this area (not the door itself) I can actually see light coming through. This is where the water is entering.
If I had my car with me, i'd take a picture of it and post it, but I'll have to wait a bit before I can do that.

Yeah, I know that. My wife's ZX2 (yeah I know... ha ha) used to leak when ever she would run it thru the powerwasher. That's why I know it's not a problem with sealing or anything.
I was just wondering if a company out there sold an aftermarket seals/weatherstrips that would help prevent this.
