Just wondering if there's a fix for this. A couple of years ago I resorted to adjusting the striker bolts inward a little to th point of almost making it to where you had to slam the doors fairly hard in order for them to latch which, fixed a lot of it but, on really windy days, it still feels like the damn wind is tryin' to rip the doors off.
Any suggestions?
Although my girl is old, by eight years, she's only got barely over 60 grand on the clock. I would like to think I still had quite a few miles to go before it's time to do a bushing job on the hinges. Besides, I have next to no play movement at all in the hinges.
I guess I could try threading that styrofoam caulk strip stuff in the hollow door gasket but the last time I tried that a long time ago on a different vehicle, it made the gaskets so stiff that I had readjust the strikers outward just so the doors would latch. Come to think of it, I think it even made more leaks because it took away from the gaskets pliability to conform to the door opening.
Thanks in advance.
