this is not a thread about beer.
Has anyone done anything to eliminate the cold air that comes in the doors (like at the lock and window switches)? Or am I the only one with this problem? I've got hot air cooking my right foot but cold air from the door blowing out when at highway speed... just looking for ideas to fix it.

Re: Drafts
Hmmm. Dunno about that one. Doors seem OK on mine (mind you - I might be comparing this to the Jeep, which doesn't have doors so much as thin pieces of metal that keep stuff from falling out...)
Anyway: Check the door seals. If the rubber strip gets worn, or has a fold, it will fail... Easy fix if they are worn.

Re: Drafts
I get this as well only when its really windy. I thought laying Dynamat or the like would solve it and make my ride quieter.

Re: Drafts
Theoretically there should be some plastic or rubber behind the door panel to stop those drafts. I'd start by pulling the door panel and seeing what condition the factory seals are in.
