When it rains my '88 Jetta tends to get quite wet inside. I guess this is a common problem. Other older model Jetta owners have told me they've experienced the same deal. One person told me that they were quoted $125 per window to put in new seals! I'm looking for a 'do it myself' solution. I'm aware of the falling window syndrome, but my car hasn't done that... yet. All windows stay up when rolled up. Anyway, the water seems to come in thru these bad seals, soaking the cloth rear door panels enough that the water then drips and collects onto the back floors. Another place it leaks from appears to be the top corners of the front windshield. I was told to replace the windshield to end those leaks. Easy enough. But are there any 'universal' seal strips that I could cut to size myself or do I have to get VW seals? The car itself is in great shape, no dents, no rust... but having to scrape ice off the INSIDE of the windows because its so wet inside gets a little frustrating.
Thanks.
