Seat full of SNOW!!

Well, I guess I'm experiencing what some others have complained about. A seat full of snow when you open the door, despite having tried to clean it all off BEFORE opening the door. Thanks Dodge for the heated seats to dry my Edit off!!

i have that problem too. its quite annoying. i can even wipe all the snow off the top of the door and it still goes right on my seat. I just wipe it off the seat and drive away.

i have a feeling that people with power windows will have long term effects of the snow dropping on the power window/power lock buttons.

Well I guess SNOW isn't as bad as RAIN, especially here in the rainy NW
I may not have the snow but I still get WET

Yep, same thing happened to me yesterday. This is a design flaw IMHO. I can't believe the engineers never thought of snow when designing these rigs. Even if you clean off the door frames, you still get a load of snow on the seat that has to be brushed off.

All cars/trucks with the swept back design and no old fashioned gutters seem to all do this no matter the make/manufacture.

OMG. Let me understand this. Your saying, if you wipe all the snow off the top of your truck, you still get snow on your seat. Does it use tthe nerf bars to get it?

I have the same problem with the snow falling on the seat even after brushing all the snow off. What we need is something like a VentVisor that can stick to the top of the truck from the front all the way to the back....

Short of covering it up about all a guy can do is brush it off really well. I leave my brush in the box leaned up against the front corner so I don't have to reach over the side to get it. Then open the door really slowly, it doesn't seem to suck much in that way.

The snow that ....man that TS Performance ad is distracting :^) ...the snow that falls even after the cab is brushed off is probably what was left between the door and cab. I guess ideally the weatherstripping should be flush with the top of the door.

Ants? Ain't got those suckers right now. It's a balmy 65* right now. Clear skies. Slight breeze. I think I'm gonna play with my truck.

well you can always use a crazy carpet with bungee cords over the door opening to keep the snow out. I not only get snow but i use to get rain water also. It really is a pain in the butt about the snow. Talk about annoying. But i guess the doors opening at the top while going down the highway at 60mph is worse, yes this happens to me also. These doors suck, they are poorly engineered and need to be redone. they do look cool though, as if that is the only requirement for the truck. Ya it is really cold with the wind blowing in my door but man they sure look cool. any ways enough. ya it sucks but we have to live with it. we could be dealing with engine failures and stuff. good luck and if you find a true fix please keep us posted
