[s-cars] Door molding

[Mark Strangways]

It's been said by someone (sorry but can't remember who) that one should 
seal the ends carefully on the new ones with some for of silicone seal or 
similar adhesive to prevent the infiltration of water.

I will try this out this time around as I have replaced some of them once 
already.

Why they where designed this way is beyond me.
