Not sure about Honda's, or even 2001 Honda's, but if the Vaseline doesn't work you'll prolly need to replace the door gaskets and that's usually a dealer item...If Honda even still makes gaskets for that year vehicle. I know you live on the West Coast so maybe the gaskets might be easier to find and if so, youmight be able to get them thru a body shop and either have them install the gasket or pay a good mechanic to install them. Not trying to give you the horrors, but that's usually the deal with 20 year old cars. The rubber deteriorates and leaks. I have a 10 year old Ford Escort and I'm getting a leaky driver's door gasket and the trunk gasket is gettin' funky as well. Best of luck. )-(

Get a roll of 1/4 or 3/8 vacuum hose (available at any autoparts store) Take a razor and cut the weatherstrip where its not noticeable. Lube the hose and snake it into the weatherstrip. It will bring a little life back into the strip. *DISCLAIMER sometimes it doesn't work, but if the strips are shot anyway its worth the gamble for a few bucks. Don't cut the weatherstrip in half, just make a slit the size of the hose diameter. You can plug up the hole with black silicone when you're done if you like.

Yeah, we've had rain for a double digit days in the last two months, but we both know it'll clear up and go back to the barren desert we're used to living in.
I haven't felt a need to drop $$ on replacing the heater core I broke six years ago either. Sack up, you're not living in Portland.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Sudbury, Canada | | Yeah, my old Jetta leaked like no other, i could feel the drips on my arm while driving, and my trunk would fill up where the spare tire was every so often. Had to replace: All the door seals, weather stripping on the roof, and the taillight gaskets: 40$. I love junkyards.
But now my newer car leaks about a quart of oil every 400 miles

I have a Yakima rack system on it for my boards. The weather stripping has conformed around the mount for the gutterless mount. I know that once we get through this el niņo deal it will be alright, but I don't want my carpets to get moldy. Temp fix. Park it in the garage. |
