[s-cars] Help: driver side window wind noise...

[chris chambers]

Randy,

the shim only adjusts the window frame, not the door frame.

I believe the only way to adjust the actual door frame itself
is by loosening the bolts and moving the hinges, I personally
haven't tried this.

It seems to me that unless the hinges are worn, or the car has had
body work, that the door frame shouldn't be out of alignment.
