Door Not Sealing shut all the way
Hello I'm kinda new here this is only my secound post so I think I have this in the right place sorry if I don't. The other day I'm going through the car wash and water starts to pore through my passenger window after going home and drying off my interior
I whent out and took a look at it. What I saw was that the back end of the passenger door was sticking out and the front is sticking in and were the water was coming in is by the back of the door u can stick ur fingers out the back because it does not seal all the way. I took a look at the driver door to see if I could see a diferance between the hinges or anything and I see non. My ? is what in the world is going on. Also from the look of things were the door sticks in and out on the passenger side it is just the top part of the door the bottom from the looks of things is ok.

You have any Pictures?
Is it just the window or is the door actually no lining up right. Also open the door grab the bottom of the door and lift up and down. If there is movement it probally needs a Pin And bushing kit.
Get some pics posted. it would help

Sorry it took so long I found my camera but the data cable got lost some were so I cannot get the pics onto the pc. So I will try to describe it a bit better. I tryed moving the door up and down it dose not move. As for it lining up no the door does not line up but it is weard I have looked and looked the top of the door is out of alinement but the bottom looks to be fine. The back of the door by sticks out from the car. The front of the door right by the front fender is sticking behind it. So I'm wondering if it is mabe just a washer or some thing that got left out when some one put the door on?
Front fender > |
|< front of door
|< back of the door
Rear Fender> |
Sorry don't know if this will help any. Best I can do for now till I find the cable

You description is a little shaky is the door not aligning properly or is the window sticking out? If its the actual door you probably have some bent door hinges, so youll have to replace those... but if its the window just take the door panel off and there should be two white pegs that place how the window sits when erect, then just adjust those properly so it sits closer to the window sil.

The Door is not aligning right. If u look down the side of the car u can see that it sticks out. I would say 1/4in at most probly alitte less. Sorry for the shakyness of my description it is just realy hard to put into words what it is doing
