When leaving for a vacation in france I opened my right side (Near-side for you english folks) rear door. Instead of the usual slight creak (I never use the rear doors normally) it made an interesting new sound. Slosh...

Some investigating points to the rubbers sealing the door to the window having shrunk (Prolly due to old age, leaving a gap over half an inch on the rear side. With heavy rain, water drips down into the door itself :bang:

Anybody know if these rubber seals are replacable and where to get them? I can't really find anything about this. Also, shouldn't there be a drain hole in the bottom of the door to let water out?

(BTW, I have a '97 1.6 Brava)
