Driver side is dry as a bone. Am looking at new weatherstriping for pass side door/window.
Any one had similiar problem and where do I look to fix. Where is best place to buy new weather striping. Have looked at Performance Parts or something like that or is it best to go with OEM. If OEm is it where do I get it.
Thanks

Remove the screws from the blower motor cover in front of the windshield, and lift the cover. Check the drain holes, and look for rust around the blower motor. In this case, water will leak out from under the console.
Also check the windshield seal by removing the passenger side kick panel, running water down the windshield, and seeing if the water drips down from the dash.
Probably one or both of the above.
