Both front windows are leaking at the bottom, right onto my speakers. Its not just a little bit either, I took the door cards off to see how bad the leak was and its bad. The rubber strips that sit at the bottom of the window are hardly even touching the windows. Were can I get new ones? Do I need to call up mitsubishi/proton or are the rubber strips something a window repair/tint place can produce?

Thanks
Ash

Here are pictures of both sides, I dont know if that really helps.

It used to be a few drops, but we put the hosepipe on the roof and watched the water drip down and all the water went in! It came to my attention because last week it shorted out both speakers.

Were does the plastic sit?

ahh i remember. tranny oil, or trans stop leak, will make your rubbers soft again. wipe on wipe off.

I took it to see brian on the weekend, he thinks a little bit of silicone will fix it up.
