leaking weather striping

[vrabelm]

I noticed my truck has a slight bit of water leaking in when it rains on the two front doors. also when i wash the beast the left rear door leaks a lot. does anyone else have this problem?

 

[dslcummins]

I've washed my several times, the last couple times have been at a car wash. No leaks.

a small leak on the drivers door seal just a few drops, I chalk it up to a bad design, not an actual leak. On my truck at least I feel that when the door is opened and closed water gets on the seal and then a few drops come down on me.



I don't like the leak in the grab handle. I washed the truck today no leaks, someone on my post said perhaps a piece of foam around the window, well there is one there need to make the stealer appointment.

bend it

Open the door, grab ahold of the top of the door and give it a good bend/yank/pull in and downward.

This what they do for final fit at the assembly plants. Have seen it done a 1000 times. If you got a chance to see your truck after it came off the carrier and before they prepped it at the dealer,

and you looked at the bottom corner of the inside of all the doors

you would see a foot/boot print from johnny "final fit and finish" doing his magic on door adjustment.

I have done this alot of times back when I was working at a new car dealer, it works. Just be sure your window is down, don't want to break it.

Only leak I have noticed is around the clearance lights took a closer look today and it looks like the lights themselves are cracked. Will call the stealer Monday and if it gets to be too much hassle I'll just get a tube of clear silicone and patch them myself. Leak was coming from the sunvisor mount on the passenger side.

I'd agree with this. What I hate most is snow and ice accumulating in the same place and falling in on me when I open the door. Very poor design there.

I hear you Parshal, I'm getting sick of wet butt syndrome. Love the truck, and am happy with how quiet the interior is. Is this a trade off to have a quiet ride?



No actual weather strip leaks as of yet.

I've had some leaking around the driver door weather strip. I just put a thin piece of foam weather strip to the door where it meets the blacj rubber, and no leaks since. I haven't tried the pulling on the door trick though.
