Default Discovery II- Leaky doors & Fuel Treatment Suggestion

A couple questions...

1. Leaky doors. Mostly the rear door. When it rains, or I go through a car wash, it leaks badly. I have heard that this may be a fault in the design, because the wheel on the door puts so much stress on it, and it is unable to form a good seal when closed. Can I replace the rubber trim or anything to make this work better?

I also noticed that my front doors are a little leaky. Yesterday, I drove it through a car wash, and got a little wet. Again, what can I do to fix this?

2. This thing spent about 9 months drinking Mexican gas. Any suggestions on a fuel treatment that I should use?

Check the door seals to see if they are out of place or falling off. If not,you may want to try replacing the seals around your doors and rear access, you can find the seals online and you should be able to do it yourself. Unless the vehicle has been in accident and the doors are tweaked it sounds like you just need some new seals. As far as the gas goes, I would replace the fuel filter and get my self some Lucas fuel treatment. You can this product at Autozone or similar. Good luck!

I have checked the seals, and they look like they are in place. Where can I order these seals online?

Thanks!
