Gen 1 liberty door seals

Post by Kappage » Wed Oct 14, 2009 6:54 pm

When your doing 110 country driving or even 100kmph you can hear a whine as air is 'leaking' in from whhere i can only assume is the door seals, is there any mod you can do to patch up the 'holes'. I remember reading something about this but i cant find where.

Thanks

the leak is in the corner of the doors where the mirrors are.

rslc.org has a few solutions. None of them have worked for me.

turn the stereo up ;)
