And is there a water channel that runs down it to the floor..there is a hole there. Pulled and cleaned the udders on the driver side..ill do the other side. Wondering if I can glue some rubber in there to seal it up. 800 bucks for a new one.

Considering I replaced all the weatherstrip in my 92..and it still leaked a little ..and was expensive as hell..I'll give it a try. I don't drive in the rain 90%.

I had a tear in the weatherstripping on my 2003 and this is what I used:

Permatex Adhesive Sealant, Black Silicone Part #81158

Can be found at many auto parts stores and works great to reattach the torn pieces.
