i did a dumb thing, let my friend borrow my truck, enough said. well now for some strange reason, whenever it rains, i get a slow leak from the space between the door and the body. and when i drive, i can hear wind noise inside. what could i use to seal it up? i know its not serious, but its annoyin as hell wipin water off my window switches every few minutes. who's gotta cheap, easy suggestion?

 

I think your weatherstripping is either missing, torn or cracked. Its an easy fix, just need to replace it.

 

sounds about right, how much, where do i get it, and can i put it on myself?

 

If you can put it in yourself depends on your ability to work on things like that, its fairly easy, usually just has some "****" on the back of it that push into small holes they drilled for it, or they glue on.


LMC truck is the only place I know of to get stuff for an S-10 but im new to the world of s series.

Price, Im not sure of.

'preciate that! i'll look for it somewhere.

 

I know you can find them on ebay, so thats a cheap solution.

 

your door hinge bushings could be worn out too. its a common problem, mine leaks right where youre talking about, and my pin bushing is worn out.
when you close your door from the outside, watch it sometime and close it slowly, see if the top of the door lines up with where it should on the body, the bushings can cause the door to sag a little and cause the water leak

definitely check the weatherstripping first, cause its an easier fix. but if it is the door hinge pins and bushings, theyre cheap too, you can get them on eBay for less than $20 for both front doors. I think the company that sells them is Florida Auto Fastener.

 

Also, the door could be slightly bent away from the body. Not sure how your friend could have done this, but I did it to my Dad's Cherokee when I locked the keys in it.
