The stuff that will seal the doors is a 15-foot roll of windshield sealing material from most auto parts stores. 15' will do 2 doors. Problem was with my front doors, I don't know if anyone'* had rear doors leak or not.

you take the trim panel off and there will be a blueish plastic barrier wiht a line of black butyl all around it. When you look at the bottom you will most likely find that parts of the seal have come apart.
I've tried kneeding the stuff and putting it back on but that wont fix it for more than a week.
I just used windshield sealing bead to fix mine, its the same stuff. You'll have to get all the old stuff off, its alot like chewing gum. Once you get some of it off you can use it to pull the rest off.

Just a few other quick tips. I had better luck removing the old butyl rubber when it was cold. I did both the front doors and the passenger rear door just a few weeks ago. It was right around 30*F outside and after leaving the plastic sit outside for a few minutes, the rubber seemed to come off easier.
I also found that it released from the plastic deflector or metal door easier when you pulled away from the adhered material at a slight angle away from the plastic.
