Hi All,

I have just figured out that water is coming into the 245 thru all the window gaskets (side cargo, tailgate and passenger windows) except the windshield, which is fairly new.

Any suggestions on where to get new materials, and tips on replacing this stuff...is is an easy DIY or best left to the pros?

Pretty much every piece of rubber around every window is leaking, to give an idea of the scope of the problem. and the weatherstripping that is on the exterior of the car (between body and roll-down passenger windows) has shrunk about an inch on a couple of the passenger windows.... is that easy to replace?

any tips/info on this are appreciated.... i've heard that to have a shop do it is pretty expensive, although i haven't received any quotes yet...

thanks!

susan.
