Newer Weatherstrip - Door won't close...
I installed the 88-98 Dodge Dakota weatherstrip on the passenger side of the cab - worked great - no issues, no binding - little tight - but the door closes correctly.
I then go to install it on the driver side - no dice. Door won't shut all the way - it will latch - but it look like it is ajar. I figured that the door needed to be aligned and after making that attempt I figured I would just use the LMC repop stuff that came with the truck since it was thinner (I thought)...I went and got the 3m black weatherstrip adhesive today and then installed the weatherstrip...PITA for one person. I then went to shut the door and it does the same thing - binds just before closing... ![]() I gave up for the day to eat dinner and get some stuff done in the house so I figured I would ask you all about what I need to do to get this door shutting like it should. I will heat the weatherstrip up tomorrow with a hair dryer to see if I can get it more pliable, but it will take some serious persuasion to get the door shut all the way (not sure if the hair dryer will do it). I can get pix tomorrow of what I am working with if that will help. Thx. |
