Water Leak

I have a problem with my rear doors leaking. Whenever it rains my the lower portion of my rear seat gets real damp. I have ruled out the rear window because the upper portion of the seat is fine. The trunk as well has been ruled out because nothing in the trunk is wet. So the only thing I could come up with is that both my rear doors are leaking. It appears as though all the rubber seal are fine. I thought maybe someone on here may have had the same problem and found a solution. If no one has, does anyone know where I can buy replacement seals (maybe even though they look fine they are still leaking). Thanks.

Eric

My next question is "Has anyone had trouble getting the seat off?" I have tried pulling the rear seat off and it does not want to come off. Any tips/tricks in order to get this off?

sometimes it can be a b!tch

just get both hands under the front of it on one side (driver or passinger) and pull really hard or get a shovle of somthing and pry it up do one side at a time

...sounds bad.

Open the trunk side panels and peek in. Before that, prepare mentally in junk yard scene... hope not thats the case.

Btw. Keep dogs connected, danger; I once repaired my friends mitsu...

Edit; btw plagiarization: ..."I needed a big ol' photoshop to install that faucet the first time"...

Yeah no doubt, I tried to pop that seat up out of curiosity, and those thigns are stuck in there! They shouldn't break if i localize the prying right on the clips?

My floor is getting wet too. I will check out the rust issue hopefully this weekend.

Will the rust be obvious or kind of hidden?
