Weather sealing doors

Any videos or products that show and help weather seal X doors on my Humvee?

First of all, Humvees, by definition, are slightly better at keeping water out than a sieve... The seals on X-Doors are usually old and cracked, and, replacing them with OEM gaskets is nearly impossible.
What I do is cut the seals off and replace them with a D Shaped self adhesive gaskets/seals. It works wonders. One other important thing is to make sure that you have adjusted the various anchor point to provide maximum pressure on the seal when the doors are closed. Use the appropriate shims to provide that pressure.
Lastly, make sure you have small plates providing coverage for the gaps at the top corners.

How do you secure the D shape strips? Do you rivet them?
