Re: Help with door adjustment after new door seal install

According to LockDoc in a previous thread the Dakota years are 87-97. I put a set in my truck about 1-1/2 years ago. That's 2 very cold Wisconsin winters and a normal not too hot summer with the truck hardly ever in the sun. The driver door isn't too bad, but I still have to slam the passenger door. It is improving. With the windows down or a vent window open both are pretty good. It would probably be better if my 69 had the air relief vents in the door jamb like the 72s. However, they do fit and look great.

My originals were really flattened over the years. Remember, these truck doors never did close like today's doors do. Mine always took "a bit of effort" until the seals were really flattened.
