On the 2 front doors just where the door closes. If you have your door open and are looking forward where the windshield is, then you close your door you will see that the corner of the door rubs along the weather stripping. Both sides have been torn. Has anyone else have this problem? Its a warranty issue i know, just want to know if I am the only one? Also when they replace it, its just going to happen again. Any tips to keep this from happening when my warranty wears out??

 

yes, it's covered under warranty & the replacment one are redesigned, so it won't happen again.

 

It is a TSB, although I don't remember the number. I had the weatherstripping replaced just over a year ago. It's a little bit smaller/narrower than the original. I've not had any more tears or leaks with the newer/updated ones!!

 

Is this what causes the wind noise from the door at high speeds? Only my driver's side door does it.

 

It's happening on my truck too. I guess I need to take it in to get it fixed.

Had my drivers side done about a month ago...did not fix the wind noise problem...anyspeed over about 65 MPH(110KPH) and the drivers door gets sucked out a bit and you have wind noise.
The only way to stop it is to crack your window a bit, but then thats a different noise.
Also, will suck door out if there is a cross wind.
If you rest your knee against the door, you can feel the door shift as your speed pics up.
Kind of a pain in a 50K truck.

 

Had the same problem a year ago and they fixed it right the second time. They took it to the local body shop and had some minor body work done to the door and now I get no noise, no tear, no leaks and all in all I think it is the only way to fix this prob.

 

Hi Tristan

Yea I think you are right on the money with the body shop.
I might just do the same even if I have to pay for it myself.

 

The TSB#23-008-04 to fix this problem.I had mine done last year,no problems since.coobie

 

I will be checking mine in the am. Thanx for the heads up.

 

Here is what the new ones look like

I had both of my doors done the other day. Works great now. Don't forget to have them replace the bottom weather strip too.......the new one wraps around and prevents all the mud, dirt, debris from coming in on the rocker panel.

I also, after debating for a year, had them do the white smoke flash TSB......milage increased 1 mpg as advertised. No decrease in performance that I noticed.....truck runs just as great as ever.

 

According to the Dodge dealer, this is a common problem. I just had mine replaced this week (under warranty).

 

I need to get off my butt and have the dealer replace mine....

 

Is this problem something they will address if you are out of warrenty time?
