I know there was a thread on here about this, but I can't seem to find it at all.

With my driver side door closed, there is not a proper seal at the top, and I can hear wind rushing by. It does stick out a little, and I was looking for a DIY on door adjustment to fix this.

Thanks guys

Edit: The door does not sag at all. Just the top part sticks out a bit.

I did find that one, but didn't read the entire thing because his spot differed from mine. But now that I read the adjustment part at the end, that is some thing I can try.

Thanks zman.

 

If the rest of the door fits fine (the gaps are even and the body lines are in line as well as the door isn't either in or out from the door), there is another way to fix just the upper part of the door so it will seal. But I hesitate to say.

You can bend the upper part of the door inwards, I don't like this one because you can really damage the door and the doorjamb if you're not really careful. You place a small wood block between the door and the jamb, so the door is propped open. with the window down, put pressure on the upper part of the door to gently to force the frame inwards. Do this lightly, too much pressure will bend the jamb and the door may not seal there as a result. Also there is the possibility of kinking the door, and thats not good at all.

Try the adjustments with the hinges first, use this only as a last result.

 

I just roll down the window, sit sideways in the drivers seat, put my knees against the door, and pull at the top by hand. Doesn't take much pressure to get it to move.

(this also happens to be the method the guys in the body shop used when I was at the dealership......)

 

yea. Iv'e done that with car doors, but didn't know how strong the dodge door is. Nonetheless, If you,r not careful you can kink the door frame. I HAVE seen that done, it ain't pretty.

 

The rest of the door lines up pretty good. Its just the top part that doesn't seal up against the top for the frame. Might have to try the bend method.
