Thanks for all the praise. I think this article will help slow down the number of S13s we lose to rust I think we should all thank R240NA as well. Most of the things I'm struggling with on my car he has already been through and was able to provide me with his insights.

I'm located in Northern VA. If you don't already know, hop on over to the local 240 board at midatlantic240sx.com.

The weatherstriping around your front door ledge is a little different. They use rubber strips that seal up against the door and window glass. You can seal them up with butyl sealant, but the glass guy told me the best way was to replace the strip as a whole. He also said it will also help if you soak it in silicone once a month. I'm not sure what this means but I'll find out next time I talk to him.

If you're talking about your rear side windows then you need to replace the whole glass assembly. I had this problem before and you have to get a new quarter glass because it contains the mounts to bolt up to your body panel. If you get a junkyard glass, they will most likely cut off the mounts and your car will leak because you can't bolt the glass in.
