Water at bottom of Doors- 300D
After a rain and the car has been just sitting, I see water dripping through the bottom of both front doors. the bottom lip of the door is rusting out. The door seals are original '78 I would imagine. Thye look intact but I am sure the rubber is too stiff to seal correctly. Is it a big job to change the window seals out?

if the doors are rusting out, you need to change the window brushes. water gets INTO a door via the windows. water can also get into a badly rusted door if the door seals are bad on top, and the lower trim gets gunked up.

The window brushes are the horizontal seals on the bottom of the windows, correct? Are they hard to change out? Is there any dissasembly of the window system involved?

correct!
no, sometimes you need to remove the side view mirrors, but usually, you can just pry up the chrome strip, and access to the brush is pretty simple. use a flat plastic putty knife to protect your paint as you pop the chrome up with another prybar tool.
