Cab Noise (need HELP!) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck does not have original doors. They do not match up well at all. It has good rubber seals but I can still see a tiny bit of daylight!!! There is way too much noise I can't stand it.

Any ideas what I should do?!?

Thanks,
BRIAN

You need to adjust the striker bolt and the door hangers. Striker bolts is the easiest. Adjusting the door hindges is harder and you'll probably need some help.

where is the daylight towards the striker side or towards the hinge side? adjust the items accordingly

The daylight can be seen at the top of the door.

What I've done in the past to my trucks is roll down the window and tweak the top of the door either by hand or a 2 x 4. Just don't get carried away. Mine always seemed to suck air above vent window.
