Drivers door breeze
My driver side door is a little noisy going down the highway. I can feel a slight draft coming from the top back corner. This was a problem on my Civic cause of how many times I had to break into it cause I locked my keys in. Could some new weather stripping fix this or would it be something completely different?

Well these Jeep doors tend to have bad hinges. Open up the door and look to see if the hinge is still attached all the way. If it isn't, you'll need to push the hinge up against the panel and weld it on better. There's a thread about this somewhere on here. If that's not the case, weatherstripping may solve the problem.

Couldn't find the thread on here, but I found this for you if the hinge turns out to be you're problem. http://www.jeep-xj.info/HowtoDoorHinge.htm Just make sure you only weld on the A-Pillar or the door won't close right...like mine. Some schmo welded mine with an arch welder and it looks like a 14 year old kid on his first day of welding class. My hinge is 1/4 inch away from the panel and it REALLY sloppy.
