I am starting down the road of chasing leaks. My most noticeable leak is at the top of the rear passenger door. I just assumed it was from a trashed seal on the door. After finally getting around to investigating the seal it appears to be in good shape. But the water is definitely coming in through the top of the door......
Upon closer inspection it appears the door is not seating properly when closed. The door hinges open and close very smoothly and latches with no problems, but I can clearly see the top of the door is not flush with the body like it should be. I feel like the whole door should shift forward a bit.
This rig has taken some good smacks with big rocks and trees so I am hoping the body and or door aren't tweaked beyond repair. I don't actually see anything bent or dented on the door or roof, but the body under the door has taken a hit for sure.
The FSM has a page on adjusting the rear doors but it is quite vague on what hinges to use and how to do it.
Question #1: Do these door/body lines look like I have bent/damaged the body to much to get a good seal?
Question #2: Do you all think I can adjust the door for a better fit using the hinges and cure my leak?
Question #3: Assuming I decide to try and adjust the door, what is the best procedure?
