<VV> WATER LEAKING ONTO FRONT FLOOR

[Frank DuVal]

Yes, I did read the instructions. That's how I do it. No need to shout. ggg

Steve, I have used sheets of plastic to replace rotten paper when I've 
had door panels off. Cut them to fit like the original. Tuck the plastic 
into the slots, otherwise water will drain onto the floor. Also seal the 
edges with some type of caulk (latex, strip, butyl tape, etc.). Tape 
works good in the places shown on the diagrams, just use something 
waterproof.
