Hi all,
The top left side of my passenger side door has started making a ton of wind noise when driving over about 60 mph.

I've checked against the drivers side and it looks like it's slightly out of alignment. The weather stripping is in good shape ( Disco came from NJ mom/housewife so doubtful there was ever much, if any, off road)

Are there any suggestions on how to fix the gap? It's just enough for the door not to seal. My drivers side had a problem when I bought the car (hitting the door frame) but my mechanic fixed it. He's since had to shut down due to financial issues so I'm on my own on this one...

Thanks and Happy New Year!

 

You can adjust the window frame, there are screws that hold it to the door.
Loosen the screws, move the frame tighten screws.
The other option is to adjust the door by adjusting the door hinges.

 

Thanks Spike.
Are the frame screws located someplace obvious? If not where should I look for them?

 

same problem, where are these adjustment screws? Thanks in advance...

 

I had a similar problem, though it may not be the same issue as you. In my case it just turned out to be the forward vertical seal channel on the driver's side rear door window had slipped down about an inch. It had gotten to the point where I could feel a draft behind my left ear.

I pushed it back up and haven't had any problems since.

 

ahhh....I feel stupid.

I went outside last night, found the adjustment screws, no help. Pulled the windowframe, no help. Got some weather stripping and out it on the top, no help.

The looked at the damn vertical seal, and viola, it slipped down a few inches.

Felt pretty stupid, this has been annoying me for months. Thanks for the reply...

 

my driver's side window is having issues when I roll it up or down, like, it sounds like it is hitting someting and will actually stop moving after a loud KA-CHUNK! If I press outward on the glass with my elbow, I don't have the problem. It has to be the window frame being out of alignment, right? I remember reading a Post a while back about adjusting the window frame, but I can't find it now. This is the only one I could find. Does Anyone have a link or guidance on where the adjustment screws are, how I should ensure proper alignment, etc.? Thanks.

 

Sounds like a broken roller on the regulator.

 

x2. Search for threads on replacement of the roller or just get a new regulator.

 

if that was the case, why would pushing on the window make everything run smoothly?
I think my window frame is out of alignment, because it is loud when i am on the freeway and there is some wiggle room at the top front corner of the window frame when the door is closed. if anyone knows which screws to tweak, please let me know.
