Recently got body work done to my truck where they had to take the doors off and now I have wind noise from the front two doors that is driving me crazy. Before the work was done it used to be so quiet inside and I loved it. Is there anything I could do about that or am I SOL? Is it that the doors weren't put back on properly or is the weather stripping messed up and needs replaced? Not sure how to fix the issue so any tips or solutions would be great!

I'll double check all the weatherstripping and make sure it's all there but just to my general impression it is all there but I will give it a more in depth inspection. Sounds like I will be going back to the body shop this week and have them check it out. Thanks for the advice!

Pretty common problem when removing doors. Just needs a little tweaking to get it back to how it was I am sure. Might make you cringe if you see how a body shop aligns a door though. I thought they were going to break my door off on my Dakota when I had it repainted and it was out of alignment.

Well that's good to know that all it seems to need is some adjusting. I've got a good relationship with the shop so i'll have them do it in front of me so I can see how they do it

there have been people on here who've complained the doors were badly aligned from the factory. maybe the shop actually made them better! and the trim as it sat was aligned for the old door placement. shot in the dark but, it's a shot.
