I have noticed that when I close the driver door, it isnt closing flush with the rest of the body. There is nothing jammed/wedged in there (ie- seatbelt). Is there any way to tighten something down to get a tighter seal? Any ideas?

 

I don't know for sure, but you can unscew the door latch (not all the way!) and move it in a little, then screw it back tight. Should work, but I haven't tried it on this car yet.

 

I have heard of the window frame warping.
Once the window is completely lowered, you should be able to bend it in a little by hand.
Again, I read this once before but not done it.

 

yeah i heard that too. i did that when i had my civic, and it worked great. you should try this first and see what happens. But dont bend anything, you might F*** something else up.

 

Thanks for the door latch suggestion... Its not just the window frame that is warped, its like the entire door sticks out a few centimeters... so i will inspect the latch once it warms up a little and my car returns to normal (the door sticks out in the warm weather too)

 

Totally unrelated... but deltron's the shit. (living in the year 3030..)

thread jacker.. .lol.. :thief:

 

i got it.. just happend to me after i got my tint redone.. open the door look and youll see 2 or 3 screws.. if u connect em it would form a triangle shape.. where the latch is.. have u tried that? ... one of those screws would be loose thats what whappend to me a few days ago

 

Thanks for all the advice... i hope thats all it is...


Im glad someone noticed the 3030 reference... also props on the Trogdor...

 

OT re: Deltron - FWIW, I've met Dan several times - he's a super nice guy - my wife's cousin grew up with him and is still very close friends with him. We've met and talked with him a few times at the cousin's place here in the Bay Area.

Re: the non-flush door - I too just noticed this weekend that the top of my driver's side door doesn't close flush with the frame anymore. It's like the top right part of the door frame sticks out a bit but becomes more flush the closer you get to the front of the car - the seal till seems to be working though so I'll probably just leave it as is for now...my car is slowly falling apart at 138K miles.

 

Yeah my car was making a wind noise and the door wasnt closing flush so i moved the "striker" (latch) in and it closes flush but im still getting windnoise
