I have an update from my recent post 232 on this thread. I was in process to do the POR-15 fix and had taken off the gasket and was just starting to put on the blue masking tape when I realized I really don't think I should be the one doing this on a 2005 car with less than 3,000 miles that is still under warranty.

I ended up going to the local 5-Star Chrysler dealer to at least plead my case. I'm a new owner but had a few warranty repairs and they treated me well and have two certified mechanics. I went direct to the body shop and I think they just took mercy on me. They had the car for over a week. They first sand blasted and then put two coats of POR-15 followed by painting the door to match the car color. I provided the POR15 & prep chemicals and requested they use it. Dealer did not charge me anything and I assume put it all under warranty.

I'm hopeful they also addressed the root cause based on information I provided from this thread.If I understand forum member (Steve-UK) experiment correctly, the problem area of seal is that area that is actually over the vertical channel (back side of mirror closer to front of car). To me it even looks like it has a gap that water could flow in. The dealer used some type of black sealer that matched the gasket quite nicely.

Next step is to wash the car this weekend and then inspect the Dealers work. Hope and pray there is no water down in the gasket and the Dealer work looks good. I'll update as I know more.
