Sometime after wheeling a few moderate trails including some mild cross axle action, I noticed that my driver's side door on my D2 was not sealing 100%. It is a small gap, just enough so that you hear a little wind noise at highway speeds; almost unnoticeable. Although, if I pull on the frame of the window towards the inner cabin of the truck while driving you can hear the gap seal up. It is not large enough to let water in even during the heaviest rain storms. Is this common? I thought with the body on frame construction that this would not happen. |

Hey Jason,
Had the same problem when I got my DII, I just adjusted the door hinges and haven't had a problem since...

Common dII problem even without taking it off-road. You can either adjust the hinges or bend the window frame in slightly. I would bend the frame in slightly by placing your knee on the inside handle assm and LIGHTLY pulling on the top of the frame. This cures most of the windnoise problem in the front of the seal between the frt a-pillar and the window frame. Most of the time the door itself lines up fine so I do not adjust the door.
You can also insert some small rubber hose into the opening at the top of the seal to help expand it to make it seal properly. Just lube it with plenty of silicone first to help it slide in. |
