They're not hard to make, Shack. You wanting a roof mount or pair of side mounts?

They are available, google out DA6071

Those look like they are for the 4 "person" doors, not the rear barn door, that's where the worst dust leak is.

Yes, sorry, i misunderstood the "rear door" term as for me those are the rear passenger doors especially that it was about wind deflectors, the one from the boot is "tail door" in my mind and dust can come in there where water does too and this is covered in the attached bulletin

1. did you check for play in the swivel hub bearings, also correct seal depth in bore?

Did you replace the existing weather strip with this type? Or did you use it as an additional seal by sticking this one to the door?

You may have hit the nail on the head here. I tapped in the seal as far as it would go. Is there a specific depth?

I couldn’t find any issues with wear in the axle, diff bearing or hub.
