the recent hard rain's in washington state have made it apparent that my new 79 isn't waterproof.although it has brand new door seal's all the way around on the pinch weld,am i missing something,like a seal on the door itself?

Does it have that ghetto sliding door rear window thing? Mine doesn't even have any sort of seal. That might be the problem. Or the windshield seal could be bad?

no sliding rear.carpets soaked at front of sill plates.the seal i'm thinking about is on the top of the door itself.it shows one in the lmc catalog but it's not a very good pic.just wondering if anybody's truck has that seal.

Yes theres a seal there. It does help. Also doors may need alining or just sit to low for the other seal to work. Matt

thanks matt,your on to something with door alignment,theres an actual gap at top of the door where it meets the cab. more so than the other side,it looks like it needs to be sucked in and upward don't know if theres enough adjustment there by screwing around with the hinges.the body lines match up pretty good though.
