I have an 03 with a Feb 03 build date. I have developed a leak on the driver's side and my body guy tell me the door gasket needs to be replaced. I have a grey interior and have been unable to locate any new door gaskets except tan. Does anyone have a grey one they would swap, or does anyone know a way to dye the rubber the correct color? Tha nks

I think your guy is talking about the vapor barrier. It's a poly sheet between to the metal door and the interior door panel. If it becomes damaged or unattached water can enter the passenger cabin. Not a big deal to fix...

Thank you. Are you talking about the thin strip attached to the bottom of the door? I don't think that's it because water gets in when it rains and the car is not moving. It also gets in when I wash the car. I would think that means it is coming in from above. The door has been adjusted to make it fit tighter against the gasket buy, if anything, it is worse.

Vapor Barrier  And as Rob suggested, if you have a sunroof, check/clear the drains. The trunk seal is also a known issue concerning leaks. |

Thank you all. I have already had the sunroof drains cleaned, so I will check the moisture barrier
