dripping door frames???
When I open the front doors ( D & P ) and it's wet outside, water runs along the grooves on the top of the body and drips all over my door controls ( windows/locks/mirrors ) does this make any sence? anyone else have this problem?....my mechanic said it was just poor design, but is there something I can have put on that looks good and will keep it from dripping all over?
It even does it when I roll the window down, but drips on top of the inner door panel.

look and feel against the seal around the door. specifically where the roof meets the A pillar. Mine did that and the door was was not sealing properly. pretty easy to bend back into place or get a new seal

When I go over my Jeep this summer, I will be taking care of alot of the "weatherproofing" problems it has.
As for my passenger door is warped all to hell....theres a 1/4" gap towards the front top corner of the door...lol, so it doesnt seal correctly anyways. Thats probably from me getting too close to a tree, that took off my passenger side mirror, haha ...no worries tho...I just go to the local JY and grab another.

On the drivers side gutter (lip of the roof) there was a small hole, so I just used some RTV sealant lol, and it seems to do well. Better than silicone sealant anyway, lol.
