Rain gets in through top of doors

Hello,

When it rains hard, the rain seeps in on the top of the doors on both sides.






My solutions are to bend the doors so that the seal becomes tighter and to buy new weatherstrips.

Interested in knowing if anyone has has this issue and what they did to fix it.

Are those the only options?

Thanks

Those are basically your options. Check that the hinges and latch aren't sloppy

Re: Rain gets in through top of doors

I would NOT try bending the doors, that just sounds like a bad idea. Has this car been hit hard in front or rear ?

Edited, meant to say not try

The door seals is a good place to start.

The top window frame is pretty easy to bend

yeah, sadly it is one of the methods used to get in the car by thieves. And for locksmiths to open a car
