Door Leaks

[Tommy4949]

My driver's side door leaks at the top. I thought it was a bad seal, but, upon inspection, I noticed that it isn't even touching the seal at the top and isn't flush with the back door on the outside. One day we got 12" of snow and I had a small snow bank on the armrest.

I read a post that mentioned using a 2x4 to get it back into shape, but I couldn't find the thread that mentioned how to do it. So how do you get the top part of the door back to where it is supposed to be? Thanks.

stick it in the front/bottom and push the door in from the back/top. It will probably "give" just enough to solve the problem.

This is assuming you have tried to adjust it correctly and still cannot close the gap. (the hinges are bolted to the pillar into plates that will move and allow some measure of adjustment)

OK, I will try adjusting it right first. Thanks.

OK, I loosened the 3 bolts on the top hinge and pried it in and tightened it up. Seems to seal a lot better, but we will see next time it rains. Thanks for your help.
