Better now than later I guess
Well, I go to get in the car to leave work yesterday and all is good. I start to put my laptop case in the back and WHOOPS, 4" deep puddles of water where the rear seat bottoms normally reside.
Luckily I had the entire interior striped out and only a few layers of sound deadening down when I found this. If I had had my new 4th gen seats in there I would have been rather upset.
It rained pretty bad yesterday, but I never expected the car to leak. It never has in the past. It's not the T's so I'm figuring that I need to replace the rear hatch seal.
Does anyone know what quality the seals are you see being sold on e-bay all the time are? 1aaa auto or something I think is the seller and they're always on there. Otherwise, where is a good place to order new seals from? I need rear hatch and probably should replace both door's as well.
I'm worried about some of the aftermarket seals as supposedly they are not tall enough to form a good water tight seal.
Oh well, just venting. L8rs

I got the ones from that guy on Ebay (forget his name off the top of my head) and they fit just fine. Quite a bit cheaper too, IIRC.

I got those from 1A Auto, I think softseal makes 'em, can't remember though. Anyway, they fit great and seal tight, the guy at the shop was realy impressed with them, especially being aftermarket ones.
