Pretty sure it's the 'new' Metro door seals.

That sucks really not much you can do with that.
One funeral down one to go. I hope this trend ends quickly.

The Fury leaks and since I keep it outside, that is a problem. Dang "fuselage" curved surfaces don't seal well. Finally I used the black 3M pliable stuff sandwiched between painter's tape, not pretty but it works for now and keeps my interior dry.
Supposed to be 15year guaranteed. But of course I can find almost every receipt for it - except that one.
I bought them at Carlisle from someone that least appeared to be a company rep. Much cheaper than normal price, so now I’m wondering if they were seconds or if they just suck. Will try to rework them a little to seal. Otherwise probably get Steele brand for at least the uppers.
Dang, thanks for the tip not to buy from those guys.Pretty sure it's the 'new' Metro door seals.

I got all mine from RA in the universal section. Saved a bunch of $ on them. You just need to know the profile of the seal you need.

Trying the one on the right this morning. Not bad at all. Pretty mellow.
Speaking of leaks I am glad I am bringing the cuda down to bare metal, the cowl inside the engine bay is just about through with a few pinholes. Hoping the underside is ok but kind of doubt it with all the crap I took out of that area. That will be a PIA to fix since the cowl upper side does not come off.
Good thing you found it though.

It's Sunfire Sunday!
Gooood morning
.
Yes it was a good find. Got lucky also was just going to scuff up that area. This car is so dam confusing I really think it has 5 k on it and never washed but find other things that scream 105K
No idea Mike, prob since my report button was removed????????
Here’s the main problem. Seams like the rubber shrunk and it split where they joined the pieces and pulled away in the corner. Definitely explains back floor getting wet. Not sure if it found its way to the front from same spot or getting in elsewhereDang, thanks for the tip not to buy from those guys.
I posted that before your image appeared. LOL
Definitely the site is weird today.
Hinges are not perfect, but I don't think they are loose enough to have much affect on seal.
I only got a little water in front floor of the passenger side. None in back. It has the same little opening where the rubber split apart, but did not pull out of the corner.
Which way does the wind normally hit the car?
Sure it does. With a spot drill and other implements of destruction...
LOL half the car was taken apart that way!
