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 ~10610 --- Soma576@xxxxxxx wrote: > List, > > Today I took my car out for the first time this > year.
