Passenger door like a fish bowl.

Ive got a lot of water coming in my passenger door when it rains, drains out the door panel and bottom of the door. Theres no rust yet so id like to take care of it pronto. Anybody else have this problem? I think its the seal at the base of the window, but mayby theres something else thats common with the firstgen. I Just fixed the power window and would like it to stay fixed so if anybody has some input id appreciate it. Thanks. Also, two days till my old smokey fuel pin, 3200, and a dyno test after some pump tweaking. Im still decideing about gauges, I havent heard from from anyone using the TS performance gauge with the heads up display, but i think ill guinee pig it. Ok ill shut up now, i just get excited sometimes.

Replacing the belt weatherstrip should cure the leak.

also make sure your hinge bushings aren't shot. mine were almost completely disintegrated on the driver side lower hinge, causing the door to sag about 1/8th of an inch or more. No telling how long this leaks been there, but when I fixed it, no more wind noise but still rain. It had prolly been messed up for rmany years, considering my entire driver side floor pan is cancerous, AND the paints rubbed off my rocker panel due to the bottom of the door rubbing it for so many years.
