    Rain gutters

    Now that the rainy season is looming over the land, there's a problem I've noticed when getting in and out of my car. The water that has accumulated on the roof pours down over the doorway and directly onto the seat, and down the back of anybody trying to get in or out of the car. Seems there are some internal rain gutters in place, but they droop so muc, they no longer work. Any aidea on how to fix this, or can I find some aftermarket rain gutters, like those rain deflectors JC Whitney has?
    Thanks so much...

    Aren't there small gutters built into the metal on the edge of the roof? Is this what droops? The plastic/rubber ones inside can be re-glued if thats all thats wrong with them, and it might help to clean them out just in case they have some gunk in them.

      Yeah, it's those inner door rubber pieces, all right. I bought some all purpose glue, the one gutter piece on the rear door had fallen out. Thanks!

          Well, I tried to fix them, but it didn't work. I'll probably have to take them out, reglue them and hope they stay put.
          In the meantime, when I first go out to the car after it rains, I squeegee the water off the roof, along with when I clean the mist off the windows. It cuts down on the waterfall at least... When I get out, it will have to be pretty darn quick.
          What a royal pain... I may look into finding some aftermarket rain gutters to fit on the outside. Maybe it will look hokey, but IMO better than getting soaked. Bah.
