Drip, drip, drip
I took GO to an automatic car wash a little while ago and I could hear dripping through my door. Is the felts or the weather stripping?

The rubber scrapers on mine are shot, and it leaks through them. Just make sure the drain holes at the bottoms of the doors are clear. When I first got my car, I shut the door and it splashed on me. Damn thing was full of water. Cleaned out the drains and all sorts of crap came pouring out. Need to find a source for those scrapers tho.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Dumb question. What are these scrapers you speak of? Maybe it's something I can get off a donor car?Save a seal, club a liberal.Comment

Our doors are designed to take in and drain water. The rubber squeegee things that swipe the glass keep debris out that would otherwise clog the drains.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

on either end of the bottom door edge there should be two spots that have a small opening in the lip.
On mine the sealer/putty stuff along the bottom edge was so warped you couldnt see em.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

Pete is correct here. If you look at the rubber on the botton outside of the car, you will notice that it doesn't completely seal to the ends. Dripping noise is completely normal.
