Try to adjust the door to close a bit tighter! I know the lock is adjustable and if I remember things right, so are the hinges ! This is the kind of problem you get from soundproofing the car though, did that on an old Mazda I had and suddenly I realized that there was a lot of noice comming from the radio antenna and the mirrors !!! A cheap and simple solution is to weld the door but that will make entrance somewhat more difficult ;-) Calle ----- Original Message ----- From: "-- Dan Roberts" <danielcroberts@AOL.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 7:01 PM Subject: noise from door seals at speed >I have done a lot to insulate my vehicle for sound, and for heat retention. > I've added additional undercoating, especially around the underside of the > front of the van.
