On my drivers door, the door seems quite bowed as in the middle of where the glass is, there's a big gap between the rubber + the glass. It wouldn't be so bad if the water just ran out of a drain hole, but it goes behind the door card.




On the passenger side, there's a gap at the top of the door. When it's closed, water can easily get over the top of the door and down in to the car, I have to put a thing towel on the door and close it when I pressure wash or hose pipe it.

Any tips on sorting them?

I make furniture for a living, I'm always wary of hanging doors because they're such a nightmare!

Personally, I would take the glass out and try bending the middle of the top in so the rubber sits closer to the glass. Over bend in as it will spring back. Pics of the gap would help too if poss !!

Any ideas?

Is the door sitting in at the bottom?? if so then adjusting the door out slightly will bring the top in. Also it may be a case of replacing the window rubber section to stop the water from coming in. Has the skin been replaced in the past as some after market skins do bow out. If that is the case then its very difficult to do anything about it other than trying to apply some pressure to the worst part of the bow and push in gently to try and lessen the bow.
