Door seal repair question

  

0
Topic starter

I have an 06 Corolla and I recently replaced the right side doors shortly because of a hit and run the previous owner was in after i bought the car and the doors i replaced were from a same year and everything and they work perfectly fine. the only issue is the door seals are not exact and you can hear a lot of air noise most noticeable traveling at +75mph. I'm wanting to know is there any way to adjust the doors or replace the rubber strips around the doors to try to eliminate or mitigate the outside noise? It's not a function issue for the doors but it is something I'd like to fix if possible bc no one likes hearing that much air noise. Especially the passenger on that side. Thanks for the answers and advice in advance.

make sure the door is latching properly

- striker and latch heights match

- when it's shut, the door is flush with rest of car

- the gap around the door is fairly even.

 

The door seals could also just be dry and worn out. In that case replace them.

Was the A-pillar bent or distorted (even slightly)?

Try buying all new rubber beading for that door & door frame.
