I've noticed that the bottom on both doors, the weather stripping part is litterally ripping or coming apart. Any idea's on how to fix this problem? Glue it back or just get another whole new stripping from dealer... any suggestions??Cost??

Here's the links to 3 pictures of my car door

My drivers door is sort of doing the same thing, not ripping like yours, but coming loose. I haven't looked into replacing it as I just plan on using some glue to reattach mine, although in your situation I would look into as any debris that gets in there (dirt, salt, etc) will rub on the paint straight through to the metal and start to erode. Also, since yours is pretty much coming right off, you are starting to lack the protection that rubber is giving you in case you open your car door beside any unsuspecting high curbs, which can scrape the paint right off the bottom of your door.

I was actually looking at mine today and noticed a small spot of rust starting that I'll have to fix when I glue mine back on.

Mine was also coming loose and I found some interior panel rubber/plastic plugs at my local kragen. Might be a good option to gluing them back on..
