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

[Jack Gagnon]

Hey guys,

BTDT,  I had wind noise from my passenger door, I could get rid of the noise
by adjusting the striker, but that left the rear door skin sticking out by
almost an 1/8 on the top to 1/16 or so on the bottom.  This is not a good
thing becouse the leading edge of the rear door gets sand blasted in the
winter.  I finally figured out that the hinges on the REAR door can be
easily adjusted to align perfectly with the front door.  I did not have to
adjust the window carrier at all.

Hope this helps,

Jack

I was just puzzling over how to get this job done yesterday on my front
passenger door for my 95.5 Avant. But in this case the actual door skin
contour does not quite line up correctly with the read door leading edge
(the front seems to be ok though), AND the window carrier isn't quite
right; the top horizontal line of the door lines up ok, but the the top
half of the door skin protrudes out, while the bottom rear door is
somewhat in relative to the rear door leading edge - its as if the door
is slightly rotated on a longitudinal axis.  I read the procedures Chris
mentioned below for adjusting the window carrier as that task also needs
to be done, but Bentley says that first the door skin needs to match the
contour correctly.

Chris, are you suggesting that the shim will also influence the door
skin tilt, and not just the window carrier?  I'm just a bit confused
with the Bentley info and hoping for a BTDT bit of advice on the door
skin adjustment...

Thanks,
