I heard it was almost impossible to find window seals for the EF and also that leak in the hatch area. Is that true or is the market just not up here? Anyone with any info, please share. I'm trying to seal up all the damn wind noise.

...window seals?

Are you talking about the weatherstripping that wraps around the rear side windows?

it's an economy car designed 20 years ago. You can't get rid of the wind noise.

About the hatch leak.. If it's dripping from the hatch struts, it's coming in through cracked seam sealer at the upper hatch area, or the rear washer nozzle, or your sunroof drains are clogged. If it's pooling in the spare tire area, it's your taillight gaskets.

You can get new weatherstripping, but don't think it's going to get rid of all your wind noise. Just FYI.

I wasnt exactly complaining of the noise persay, but thanks for the info. In this Kentucky/Ohio area, S10's and Mustangs are the BEST. My car... at the shop I was at, couldnt locate a place to buy anything for it as far as weatherstripping.

but jfro, how would I unclog or find a place to get the necessary stuff for the seam seal? Or... is it just something that I can patch with like seam sealer? (Answered his own question?)

you can buy seam sealer at an auto body supply store. To unclog the sunroof drain tubes, use compressed air.
