Hey i have a 96 rs and the doors leak water whenever it rains and i'm going to have the door seals replaced but before i do that i was wondering if their might be any other possibilities as to how the water is getting through....any help would be great thanks.

nope, door seals would do it... but just in case that doesnt fix it, maybe you need to adjust your window?

 

he wouldnt need to ajdust the window if he said it is leaking from the door... because the door seals would have nothing to do with the windows leaking. it sounds definatley like the door seal

 

well when he said door seals i assumed that he meant all of the seals around the door... and if it was the lower door seals then he probably wouldnt be getting a whole lotta water inside cause it's got the lip of the door jam to stop it... so i'm assuming its the seals above the window that hes talkin about

 

Are you talking about drains so the doors dont hold water?

 

i didn't know that there were drains for the doors i just thought the seals kept the water out but the leak is around the side mirrors on both sides of the car....the worst is definately the passenger side when it rains i get a little puddle on the passenger floor.....the only thing that i'm afraid of is the floor rusting out....but what about this drain for the doors??

 

On the bottom of your door there are a couple little holes that drain the water out that gets in the door. The water gets in fron the outside seal where the rubber meets the window. But that is not your problem. More than likely the rubber seal on your door is just old and worn out. It sat outside in rain and snow, and all the other elements. Once you replace them it should fix your problem. If you dont replace them then yea your floor will rust out and you will have to drive your car like the flintstones.
