Leaky doors

[slowcoach]

I was wondering if anyone else finds that their doors tend to have water run in if they are not really slammed shut. My passenger side one lets a bit of water through but the rain hasn't decided to test it when the door is firmly slammed shut.

I ran a little draught proof tape around my doors. No more water seems to get in even if not shut properly...and its quieter in the cab too. A bit of a quick fix but its cheap & effective.

Roll the window right down. With the door open & your knee in the middle of the door card pull the top edge of the window about 12 m.m. towards you. Dont go mad or you will crack the brazed join. Trial & error should close the gap & cure your leak.
Dont add draught excluder. It just pushes the window frame further out & may cause the frame joint to crack if it hasn`t already.

The stuff I've used is only 1.5 mm thick...not the standard stuff found in most Diy stores which I think starts at 2.5 mm and upwards...it really doesnt hinder the doors in any way. However I did only add it because I have a habit of not shutting the doors correctly and friend of mine used the same stuff to quieten his Landrover Cab. It does work but Derek certainly does have a valid point & I should have stated that the stuff I used is really thin.

Dereks advice is spot on as usual. My wife reversed her car into our gates with the door open and bent it outwards quite badly. I was ready to start getting bodyshop quotes when a local classic car restorer suggested I try the same method described by Derek & an hours gentle manipulating closed the gap (about 2 inches). Its not perfect but I'm pretty sure a bodyshop would have really made me dig deep to fix it.
