Door Leak Problem
My 95' has a slight door(s) leak and I don't think it's the window gasket or the window needing adjustment.I can see on the door panels about 6 inches or so from the front of the door panel where water has been running down the side of the pane and ending up on the front of the door sill is where I find water.I believe it's the door gasket? The problem is I can't see it to tell with the door closed.
Anyone experience this?
Thanx

Try the dollar bill test. Put a $1 bill between the glass and the weatherstriping in the suspect area and close the door. Try moving the $1 Bill around, if there is a good seal you should have a hard time moving the $1 bill around. I have new A pillar weatherstrip and have a leak in the same area as you. I did the test and found a couple of areas where its easy to move the $1. I think they also have some tips on finding and fixing the leak in the FSM.

Sometimes the weather stripping dressing available from any of the retailers will work to eliminate the leaks. I had a leak problem and used the dressing on the weatherstrip and it cured the problem. It just recently came back, so I guess I am ready to do it again.
