leaking rubber door seal
ok, the past 4 months, whenever it rains, not even hard, just constant. i have had a recurring leak- drip, drip, that comes thru the driver and passenger door windows just where the join is when the roof separates along the rubber seal, if u follow me. now the car is about 3.5 years old and the problem has only surfaced receently- past 4 months. i took it to the honda mechanic, he ran a light hose over it and it did indeed leak, he never encountered any and said that he will order a new rubber seal, but the basic design means that it will undoubtedly re-occur.
anyone else suffer this problem

Try putting some "Shin-Etsu" grease on your rubber seals. That has fixed major leaks in the past. Also fixes sqeaks and rattles. Its also in the owners manual, don't aim at those rubber seals when using a pressure washer. Hope this helps....
But I would try putting some Shin-etsu first before replacing anything.... its cheaper ..

you guys really need to apply some shin-etsu grease atleast every 6 months. i did it last week and all of my rattles are gone, i couldn't believe it. you need to apply the grease to the a-pillar seal and all (6) ruuber door seals. there is 3 on each side. i also used white lithium grease on the pivot joints.
i followed the directions from the TSB which addressed this problem.
