    Water in the door

    I have a 2001 EB and have not had this problem. One thing I do is every Autumn I coat the rubber seals with silicone. It can get frosty here in Indy and that also keeps the doors from freezing shut.

    2001 Eddie Bauer Rust

    I have a 2001 fully loaded green expy. It has everything and I don't want to give it up. It runs great. But there is a problem: On a quiet night you can hear stuff underneath rust. What to do? I have first been brushing off loose rust then spraying it with Rusty Metal Primer. After 1.5 hours as...
