Welcome to FTE, COsoldier.
Is there anything keeping the latches from closing fully? Does it look like the door and rear window are flush with the frames? Your seals should be new enough not to be leaking yet.
I've had good luck with sealing an older door by cleaning the rubber seals, then applying a thick silicone lubricant to the rubber. Only drawback is that it tends to collect dust.

rear window
everything is flush and how it should be.its almost as if the seal is not thick enough,like the wrong one was installed.i thought about putting silicone on it but it just seems like a correct seal should be available to replace it.
