<x-flowed>Good suggestion for tubing replacement, I'll have to remember that one.

...When doing this tubing replacement I found the best thing to do is dip the end in a mug of hot/boiling water. Hold it there for a little while(at least 15 seconds, depending on tube thickness) and then the end becomes much more flexible, and will stretch over larger tubes more easily. This way the stuff that looks "way too small" actually works quite well.

I took the car to the car wash-I got no leaks from the front, I still get
some leaking at the top of both doors. I think I'm going to try that DDB
gasket that goes on the body, instead of the door. a lot cheaper than the
original. Anyone got experience with that? I also get leaking at the rear
hatch...where can I get a new rear hatch seal?
