Weather Stripping

Has anyone added extra weather stripping to the doors to help reduce wind noise?
Been that way for years with the wind noise and I was thinking of adding some to the door frame on the body,so it would be easier to remove then if stuck to the weather stripping itself !
I also heard door may need adjusting ? But do not know if I want to mess with that !

Thanks

Sometimes it’s just an adjustment to the striker plate , move it in an 1/8 of an inch.

Both of mine put noise in my left ear. I just got used to it. You probably will need a impact driver to get the screws out and in.

The screws are torx T35 or T40 , I can’t remember, I’ll have a look tomorrow. I use a 3/8 drive ratchet and 3/8 drive torx . I don’t loosen the much , just enough to move them a smidgin! Then tighten them back up, not to much!

I just went to check, it’s a TX40 3/8 drive tool, that fits the door striker plate bolts.
