Default door weatherstripping question

y2k coupe.
problem: after washing there is alot of water on the door sills.

weatherstripping around the window seems to be just fine, with no leaks apparent. looks like the weather stripping on the bottom of the door is not working very well. in fact, it's not attached completely, kinda sagging in spots.
do i need to replace or can i just re-glue existing? anyone had a similar problem? anyone have a vendor to recommend? should i take it to the dealership?

take it easy,

jeff

Nothing can be done for this.

I purchased after-market door seals for the bottom of the doors, these keep dirty road water out.

But there is no seal for the back door outside verticle gap, so water enters here and gets on your sills.

I posted this question recently too. It seems a shame with all the damm seals that are in place now. I did not see any good replies or suggestions. Maybe someone other genius will chime in.
