Water under R53 door seals...

Has there been a fix for the problem of the door seals trapping water under them and causing rust?

I get tired of taking the strip off every time I drive in rain.

Thanks

I don't know of an official fix but I have seen examples where a strip of tape was applied over the lip to keep water from getting in between the two pieces of sheet metal. This was done after the rust was repaired obviously.
