you could remove the speaker and put a piece of plastic behind the speaker.
A plastic grocery bag should work. so if water gets into door, the water will go around the speaker instead of into it. only put it at the top part of the speaker "mark" wrote in message news yea.. lol but i was told that the problem im experiencing is very common with my car, and if thats the case i was trying to find a more permanent solution thanks "Brandonb" wrote in message ...

The foam baffles (like the ones from XTC) could be used for the same
thing. It has been suggested here in the past to get these, cut out the bottom if needed for more enclosure volume, and mount them with the protective side still in place facing upward. You could also modify these with something like fiberglass or plastic to make them more waterproof or sturdy. If your speakers work well in a very small enclosure you wouldn't even have to cut anything out and you may get better bass response from them. An issue I could see with just a plastic grocery bag is vibrations from the speaker. If you've ever had a plastic bag like this around your subs, you know it can be rather annoying, kinda of like a buzzing sometimes.

That could cause other problems besides speaker damage |

yea id like to fix the seal..
im not sure what caused this in the first place, however the actual part of the black rubber that is in contact with the glass is horribly loose in some spots... this is occuring on both windows, in random spots along the window, i have a sneaking suspicion that fixing this will not be a long term solution. my car is friggin awesome, but the little things like this make me want to junk it thanks all "joe.ker" wrote in message news:Qbspe.13379$ld3.3359@trnddc04...
