Question Door seals..1st gen

Hi everyone. I've got a 94 LX and the seals around the doors are wearing out. Two of them have broken. If it rains really hard, water does drip into the car. I have looked for the correct shape with JCWhitney, but can't find one that matches well. Anyone have any suggestions for this? Any and all will be appreciated.

Thanks.

dood urs must jus be dryrotted, that can happen on many cars. goto the junkyard and see what u can find, that would be cheaper...but also CALL teh JCWhitney place.. thats better than looking in the catalog.

Thanks. From what I can tell, I can get them from JC Whitney, I just have to do some measuring and fing out my total length needed. I will let everyone know how they work out.

Thanks for the responses.

LOL. That is the exact same place mine first broke. Then the drivers back door did the same thing, and now both leak, but only on a really really hard rain. My driver's door also leaks when it is raining really hard and I'm driving 70 down the interstate. It's only a drip though..but still...annoying!

is that some type of phenomenon or something??? I have the same rip on the rear passengerside door! Right at the corner!
Everytime I wash my car it leaks right in that area.

I've tried glue and other S*itty "quick fix" stuff and it didn't work

Now I just kinda accept it and let it leak. Although it doesn't leak when it rains
