Abstract
A liner made of water sealing material is formed with a plurality of pockets. Each pocket is cut, and then the liner disposed next to the door with a respective pocket positioned over a component of a vehicle door to be sealed, e.g., a lock shaft. The pocket is collapsed around the component such that the excess material established by the now-collapsed pocket overlaps around the component, thereby establishing a water seal around the component.
