Default Front door scraping voyager tree sliders

Anybody run into the problem of having the door seal that runs along the bottom of their front door scraping the top of their sliders? This is only happening on my driver side. If yes what's the solution to fix this?

I have the same problem with only my rear passenger side door on my Terrafirma sliders. It was fine until I put grip tape on the top of the slider tubes and now I can hear it every time I open the door. It bothers me a little bit, but compared to other crap that's going wrong, it's waaaay down the priority list.

yeah me too. I added grip tape and it's swoosh swoosh whenever I open or close the door. I bent up the seal a little with my hand and it seemed to help a little.

Usually there are adjustments that can be made to the door hinges to change the angle of the door. You might be able to adjust it slightly so it doesn't swing so low, but it might make it slightly less straight when closed (or it could already be out of alignment, which is why it is the only door rubbing).

I've never checked to see if it's possible on the LR3, but I've done it on other cars and makes sense given the tolerances in manufacturing.
