Drivers door weather stripping Leaking air
Has anyone had a problem with a door leaking air over 40mph. I thought it was my window so I installed in channel ventshades to tighten up the seal but that did not work. Yesterday driving in this wonderful New England 10 degree weather , I could hear air coming thru I pulled the door tighter and it seemed to stop the air leaking. Is there a way to tighten the door seal or do I have to replace it. Thanks
yes i also have this problem. its like the door is loose and not getting a good seal. its something i have come to live with as it doesnt seem anything is loose or out of adjustment on mine. Maybe there is i just never took it to checked out either.
i also have this problem but mine is the passenger door, but again everything seems fine nothing loose no damage to the stripping. i don't know if there is anything we could add? mine doesn't do it all the time but when it does its annoying as hell
Is the air leak above the door handle? Like towards the top? Only solutions that have worked is either to replace the weather stripping $$$$$$ or put your window down and try to bend the top in towards the cab. put your knees into the door panel and pull inwards. I've done that on a few vehicles and it works great.
if you bring it to a garage or a dealer they would do the same thing and charge an hour for diagnostics likely.

weed said stripping for the doors at the dealer were only like 20 bucks mine have rips from the door closing right by the mirror and i was gonna get new ones but im scared the news are gonna do the same thing.....
I used to have this problem as well. Replaced the weatherstripping under warranty and that fixed it.

I mentioned mine to the dealer when I had it there for an oil change and they put "New and improved" seals in for free. They said there was a TSB about it. Mine's an 04, though, so I don't know if that would apply to yours as well or not. Worth asking.
i have the same problem but its both doors, at first i thought it was just wind noise over the sails we have for mirrors but when i pulled the top corner of my door in it would stop. i would love a way to fix the annoyance...
The upper or "secondary" seals get torn by the doors opening and closing due to a poor design. The replacement seals are redesigned so the door will not hit them. I changed mine in November and they were about $20 each from the dealer. Takes 5 minutes to replace. You can see the difference in the seals if you lay them side by side.
