Re: [DML] would new weatherstripping fix this?

[Bill Bob <jettaman95@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Andy,
  I actually have this problem myself. I got the new
door weatherstripping from Grady and it didn't really
help me. But my probelm is due to the fact that my
doors are seriously out of alignment. Also, that the
latch from the front side of the driver's side door is
missing dosen't help. See if you can locate a
professional to help with the doors. Messing around
with them without experience could lead to further
problems.
  Hope this helps,
     Kramer
