1. The door seals. Look at the door seals near the bottom of the windshield. When you open the door it catches the rubber and causes a tear. DC makes a new seal that fixes this issue. Warranty covers this. Just make sure to ask for the new design or they may put the same old crappy ones on.
Is this an issue for 04's as well? I have 6k left on my warranty and if it is I will have the dealer replace them.
If I had to guess yes. Just take a look at your door as you open. You will see the point near the bottom of the windshield catch the rubber as it opens. Chances are the rubber is already tore.

I love my 2005. I get 14MPG as well. My engine always ticks when you first start it up. Once you get use to hearing the tick then you won`t even notice it.

GET R DONE! As said before you will not be sorry.

I love my 05. However, I seem to be the only one who thinks the 2nd gens were built a bit more solid then the 3rd gens.
