so my doors leak and ive had a few ideas on how to fix em but id like to hear your opinions. when im driving on the freeway around 70-75mph, it is really loud and i have to shout to my gf to talk to her. it leaks in the rain too. been thinking about using some weather stripping for house doors i can get from work, but anyone else got any opinions?

Uhmmmm....
Take doors off AGAIN! Simple, easy. Problem solved. j/k
Check your alignment (cheap)
If it still leaks, some weatherstripping from the local hardware store.

My front doors leak because they're saggy from a heavily worn safety strap/pin. I could see daylight through the top of both the doors. I went and got some 3M weatherstripping, applied it to the top of the jamb. Problem solved, no more leaks, and it's quieter.

Can't we just get some thicker weather stripping or something? Mine is 13 years old. I assume the new stuff would be nice and thick and seal up all the gaps that are currently there.
