'56 Cab Wind Noise

Not to sound like a jerk but is the rubber around the door faceing the right way ?

Good point.
For mine anyway, yes, it is and I think it was the new recently self-installed Steele on the rear barn doors was found to be azz-backwards, when it went to the body shop.

Put wd 40 on cab and black silcone to rubber and shut door. Try dollar bill again add silcone till there is drag. Door should be inside of wind line on front or door even or out in the back. Add silcone where needed and WD to body so it wont stick.

Thanks Butch.... sounds like a good way to get where I need to be. Would you suggest that I work the front side first since that gets the most wind pressure?

I had considered installing a small profile/ Soffseal seal on the body side matching the door seal, but wasn't happy with seeing the seal on the body.

OK....good question, but I haven't a clue which would be the proper orientation of the seal. I've searched the web for pictures, but can't find anything. Could you either describe the right way to face the seal or attach a picture to a reply, please?
