4kq window slot weatherstrip

[Aaron Sherrick]

I am having some problems with excess water in my front doors (see
message below).  I think I need to replace the window seal (the one that
"wipes" the window when you put it down).  From looking at the family
album I think it's the window slot seal (813 837 477 B).  It says they
come in pairs, so I guess I'd only need to order one.  Can someone
confirm that this is the part I need?  Thanks.

I removed the speakers in my front doors to check the fitting of some
larger ones.  When I removed the speakers I found that they had a
significant amount of water on the voice coil and the back of the cone.
Upon inspecting the window slot weatherstrip, I noticed that it is
pulled away from the window a bit on the end closest to the mirror for
about a 3-4" section (and the speakers are basically right below that
section).  This is the case for both front doors.  It also looks like
the weatherstrip has shrunk in length, because it doesn't cover the
entire length of the window (not too surprising after 15 years).  Has
anyone else experienced this problem?  From looking at the Bentley it
looks like it's an easy fix, assuming the weatherstrip is still
available.
