Message:
When I'm going above 55mph, my driver door seal leaks, but the dealer said there was nothing they could do about it. I adjusted the door inwards, but it no luck.

Anyone have any quick fixes or know of a better commercial door seal?

Thanks,

Kevin

this is what i did, I got some clear silacone and lined it inside the wetherstriping and it made the wetherstriping more thick and cut down the wind, the other thing i did was i opened the door and pulled it down from the top part and then tested it and it worked.

Umm, tinbetween the metel and the wetherstriping, on dakotas the wetherstriping has like this little gap that you can pull back, open up the gap slightly and coat it with the silacone and let it dry before you close the door, its almost like a little canal that looks like somything can flow threw it, just put the silacone in that canel and it makes the rubber wetherstriping more thicker. kinda hard to explain.
