Question wagon door seals different?

I want to replace the door seals on my 82 300TD wagon. But I've seen a couple of places that sell door seals say that the rear door seals fit sedans only, NOT wagons. Other part sources list rear door seals for "all" 300 turbos.

Is there a difference between the wagon and sedan doors? or is it the same door seals for all?

also, what about the sunroof seals are the 300 sedans and wagons the same or different? I've seem conflicting information.

I'm getting the "classic" water in the rear drivers side.

The 123 wagon's rear doors are different from the sedan.

That's what I expected...whenever I see "all" listed I'm always a little suspisious. It seems I always end up with the odd ball models.

FWIW, sometimes the classic water on the drivers side rear floor comes from a disintegrated A/C evaporator drain tube. I chased water leaks for quite a while before I finally figured out that it only made water when I ran the air conditioner.

Check the operation of the drains first. The "seal" is not 100% water tight and the sunroof is designed to allow water in from the roof and exit via the gutter and drain system. To R&R the 4 sunroof seals is a huge pain. If you must futz with it just do the 2 side fuzzy strips.
