Home depot winter weather seal for doors, its foam sticky and cost like 5 bucks. I did that on my old DD when the hatch leaked. Worked perfect.

No I just used it around the factory seal as a second. Worked awesome for 5 bucks.

ok so i fixed the problem, when i was intalling my door speakers i has 2 run new speaker wires, cus that s***ty door amp crapped out, so i ran the lines along the door hinge, bad idea, that caused the weather seal no to seal, so i got busy and did it the right way by drilling new holes on the outside of the car and filled them with epoxy, then ran them through the existing grommet on the door, now its all good
