Symptoms
Wind noise that gets worse with age, whistling at town speeds, diesel fumes in traffic, and a dusty dash after a day on dirt roads.
The fix, step by step
- The factory flat pinch-weld seals never fully close the gap.
- Pull them and fit bulb-type seals that compress when the door shuts.
- Unsealed notes the door openings have stayed the same since 1985, so the same seals fit every 70.
Tools & part numbers
- Trim tool
- bulb-type door seal kit
- adhesive if the kit calls for it.
