Driver's door seal

i just purchased a '04 Blazer ZR2. I am happy with it, but it makes a lot of noise on driver's side door, and leaks in car wash. Is there a simple fix?

Check your door hinges, once the bushings wear out the door seal can leak at the front. Hinge pins and bushings are very common to wear out and most Auto Parts stock the repair kit.

Thanks for the insight. I changed the door pins, using the spring compressor tool and it took alll of ten minutes to complete. The noise stopped and all is good. Thank you again!
