Getting Water In The Cab
Okay guys so recently I've been getting water inside of the cab on my 97 whenever it rains, or when I wash it.
It's only getting in on the drivers side at the very top of the door, I'm almost positive it's coming in around the door seal. I have tried putting 3/8 tubing inside of the factory seal but it still leaks the same amount.
Now I noticed that our other truck (the 93) has a seal on the door and on the cab, but mine only has a seal on the cab and I'm thinking that is why mine is leaking. And I do remember the body shop mentioning I would need some new door seals soon. (I just didn't realize they removed the old ones)
I have found them on both LMC Truck and Bronco Graveyard. Has anyone bought them from either company? And were they good quality and fit?

Could it be the caulking around the rain channel is cracked and letting water in? On my trucks it Wan and letting rain in. I cleaned it all out and applied new body seam sealer to it. It seemed to fix my leak. Also I have bought off brand weather stripping. It was made by a reputable company. It leaked worse than my originals that were 25 years old. Bought a set from Ford and all was good.

I know that buying from Ford is the best option, but come on! $148 for two 3ft pieces of rubber?
