    I am trying to replace the seal that goes on the bottom of the doors and all the ones I see have the wrong holes on the one end. The end that goes on the door jamb is correct with one hole. The other end goes on the door near the hinges but the seal has two holes where the car only has one. In other word each end should only have one hole. Do I continue looking or just go with using one hole? I feel I paid for something that should at least be correct to the car. I attached the link so you can see what I am referring to. Every seal I find is like this. Am I missing something??

    Is there any difference in door years? Are your doors original to the car?

    Those are the only seals made for our cars. They will work.

    Doors are original as far as I can tell.

    Makes no sense. There is only one hole on each end for the seal to connect to the door. The seal I had had one hole on one end and two holes on the other. Will not work unless I drilled another hole in the door.

    I haven't went out and looked at my cars, but I don't recall there not being enough holes in order to use this seal.
