The crack in the door i would use a tiny drill bit and drill out the ends so it can't spread.And then just fill the crack with jb weld and sand it smooth when you done.

Could have been a lot of things, such as stress on the door (heavier people pulling on them) or poor craftsmanship.

I don't have a bunch of rust on anything except the rear cargo area. It just finished raining 3 days straight and I had about 2 inches of water sitting on the front passenger floorpan. The only place I could see water leaking from was the rear hatch. Any suggestions on who to buy new seals from? I just bought a junk fuel pump and dont want to repeat with the weatherstripping.
