I’m having a problem with rain water getting into my 1956 63D. I’ve replaced all of the rubber weather stripping with new from Steele following their directions as well as what I have found in print. Each piece seems to be staying in place, but more water comes in. Has anyone found other places that should be sealed. Parking full time in the garage is working, but that is not always possible in Portland, Oregon. Any ideas will be appreciated.
