The weather-strip seals on my door or my window are worn out on my drivers front door. Anything above 60 is obnoxious. I took a trip to the stealer, about $110.00 for both of them. Does anyone else have this problem? It doesnt leak water, just wind noise but it sure is annoying. Any ideas where i can find some aftermarket or cheaper? TIA

Chris,

I had the same problem and beginning at about the same speed. However, the issue with my truck was in the adjustment of the door. I loosened the door latch on the frame and moved it in. Just a smidge was all it took. Move it too much and you'll always have to slam the door to get it to shut completely.

Try this: while traveling down the road and while experiencing the wind noise, reach over and give a good pull on your door handle. If the wind noise decreases while you're pulling on your door handle, then an adjustment may be all it takes to resolve your problem.

IF you look at your seals and they are chewed up for some reason, then obviously disregard the adjustment suggestion.

Do a search on this.....there is a very detailed description of how to adjust the doors. I'd post the thread link...but don't know how.
The description is for an extended cab and I see your's is a crew but it might get you started.

Im pretty sure my sig says that i have a crew cab. All of the adjustment threads i have read have involved extended cabs. I have tried to jerk on the door, no change. I'm pretty sure its the seals. I appreciate the input keep it comming.

consult a local body shop, When I did the ones on my 85 gmc, they ahd rolls of the stuff. They suggested (basically blue goo) weather strip cement from auto parts house, cut off what i needed and put new on.

FWIW, I bought some "marine/automotive" EDP rubber self adhesive strip insulation at Lowes and did both the doors with it. I attached it to the door itself, leaving all the OEM weather stripping in place on the cab. You'll need to adjust the door striker a bit if you do this, because the added stuff will make it more difficult to close. It did a pretty good job, but it ain't no BMW. One other thing you might consider is looking at your door hinges to see if they need to be rebuilt with new bushings. Sometimes a saggy door will let air in the top. Grab onto the bottom of the door when it's open and see if you can feel any play by lifting up on it. If-so, I'd get the bushings/pins replaced.

Good call siphon, i didnt think about the door sagging. ill have to check that. Although id assume if it sagged, it would get noticable harder to shut over time.
