So I love my 93 xj but sometimes I wish it was a little bit more comfortable inside, specifically the seals around the front windows and doors. My jeep also seems to have some moisture inside and air leaks through from the outside into the cab though these seals. I've tried buying replacement weather stripping that basically replaces your old seals, I've even added a little more to try and make everything more air tight. I also tried permanently sealing the little swing open A windows upfront because I never use them and seems most of the air coming through is from that area. When I drive at highway speeds you can hear the wind rushing between the door and the body. It’s not like this is stopping me from driving it but it’s just getting old.
How have you guys solved this problem or if you have any suggestions on how to fix it. Thanks.

 

I would also love to hear some solutions!!
and i totally agree with the whole its getting old thing ha. i can only withstand tornado wind sound on the highway for so long.

 

bump, I know some people out there have dealt with this, or do I need to take it to a shop and tell them I need all new seals.

 

Do the upgrade to newer model seals.... there is a write up in the tech articles here........http://www.madxj.com/
I had one i was selling that whistled at the drivers door. Replaced with the newer seal on that door and it went away.

 

ok cool, I will check that out, its a good place to start

 

Check on moving your door picker in a hair. that will tighten door seal all the way around it. Wing window make sure the pivot points are lined up right. (not bent). the glass should set evenly on to the seal, when closed.

 

Great site! Thanks

 

Whats a door picker? and how do you move it? TIA

 

I guess he's referring to the stud that screws into the B pillar that the door latch closes around. I can see that squeezing the rear part of the seal abit more but not front so much.
