It just so happened that the other day i was wheeling in my favorite spot on the river. Ive crossed the river hundreds of times but this latest occasion went south. driving in, water immediately began pouring in from the door seals, all of them. I make it to the other side just as my ECU fries etc... What went wrong with the seals in my door? any way to prevent this?
But I have seen on some safari shows on tv there is some stuff that you can put on your door seals that repels water and creates a sort of barrier. Not sure what its called.
You want to keep all your door seals clean and free of mud and dirt and maybe coat the seals with a layer of WD40 or a little grease. That will help slow the water flow but water is still gonna get in. no way to avoid it.
Xterra Mike is definitely the Club X resident water authority. I wasn't sure if he needed a locker or to install ballast tanks and a periscope. :laugh-big:

I saw a guy put strips of duct tape over all the the door gaps and climb in the thru the window.... its ugly but it kept his trucks carpet dry...:rofl-big:
i have heard that vaseline will make thr rubber seals swell a little and seal better. read that years ago for leaky sunroofs. even if it does not swell a good layer of it would deff help seal
If I knew I was going to hit some big water I would tape the doors for sure
