A friend of mine did see a tv show where they fixed door seals with smoke machines and rubber hoses. My take on the problem was to fold a normal 220V wire on itself ( now a double ) and then push it inside the hollow door seal. Had to cut into the seal a few places to get the double wire around the entire door. Did all the doors, and there was a great improvement at 70 mph Noise is greatly reduced.

That sounds highly complicated. If you have an early model cherokee (84-96) The door seals from the 97-01 models are much thicker and will make for a better seal.

I got one door with a brand new seal, $35 and it is a pain to close. Localy a new seal for a 00 is $20 pr meter.

I wanna see a picture of the "220V wire". I thought wire was measured by gauge, not voltage. Also is the wire AC or DC?

I have never seen that done before. But what I have done before on other cars that I had. I got a can of the spray foam insulation and shoved the hose in one of the ends of the door seal and filled it with the foam. It can get a little messy if the tube pops out of the door seal. But it actually worked pretty good and made the door seal up nice and tight.

Nothing over here is labeled in any sensible way. Its a rather thin wire for lamps indoor etc.

Another great solution I will try this next time.

A few other ways of doing it is to wedge a block of wood or other non marring material on the bottom outside corner of the door, and then push on the top to slightly bend the door so the top fits more snugly to the seal. You can also adjust the latch on the body in to pull the door closer to the seal all the way around.

I might bend the doors a little, and loosen my latches a little. The front of the rear doors protude 8mm outside the front door now, creating noise.

Depending where you sealing issue is just re-adjust that area.

So if you loosen the 3 star bolts on the latch you can move it inward to make the door shut closer to the body?
