If you can find good rubber seals in the JY, definitely get them.
They will be much cheaper than anywhere else.

Subject: door edge seals

I noticed on a junkyard '89 the other day that it has rubber seals filling
the gap at the leading edge of the front doors, seals my '87 does not have.�
It also has nice formed rubber tubes to route the wires (for power mirrors,
speakers, etc.) as they pass from the body into the doors.� Would it be
worth getting these for my van?� Looks like the doors have to come off for
seal removal/installation, which looks like a lot of work.� I know the tubes
or something like them would be worth it as my own van has severed wires
from being cut by repeated door action.
