Another reason I like the 1995 tru 1997 tours . On 95-97 tours the doors are sealed around the edges on the inside . The door skin is sealed after it is put on the door when the cars were made . BUT in 1998 and newer tours the door skin area is not sealed and salt and water gets inside the door . I think it is another " discontenting " feature of the newer contours ...... Check your trunk and hood as they are not sealed either . Do a search and you will find some members were sealing the doors on their cars on the 98's +

My 1995 gl has not 1 spot of rust and it lived most of its life in chicago .

In about 5 years there is going to be a lot of rusty 98 + tours on the road !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
