wind/noise leake on passenger side door.....

I have had this air leak that has really been bothersome when going around 70-80mph. So I did a little investigateing as to the door closure on the driver side compared to the passenger side. and the drivers door closes tighter. Can someone tell me how to adjust the passenger door to close more secure. It has to be the part on the door or the "U" bracket it connects to on the body of the car. I really don't feel like taking it to the dealer if this is something I can do myself in 5 min. Thanks in advance

You need a torx driver... loosen the 2 bolts

on the frame..U bolt and slide it in about 1/8-1/4" and tighten.

If it is the upper rear corner you may want to roll the window down and bend

the frame inward. That took care of the wind noise in my car. However, in my case the rear edge of the front door was flush with the front edge of the rear door, and hence, I did not want to move the door stop deeper in.
