Author Topic: Cockpit sounds like a Red Barron - possible the door has dropped!?  (Read 1868 times)

I think my door has dropped slightly as i can hear the air getting through the top at about 80mph.
(96 'P' - 3 door)
The hinges dont look like they have dropped but there is a bit of 'vertical' movement in the door and it doesnt close cleanly.
There is a small bolt which goes through the middle of each hinge, do you think this can adjust the door?

I'm still having this problem and it sounds similar to yours BobbyT. I've got a severe wind noise at 80mph+ and it's a 96P. The doors also have vertical movement.

I'm kind of lost on this one as I don't know if the door is hanging wrongly or if I need to replace the seals. Should I replace the seals anyway and see if that sorts it, then if it's still there should I re-hang the doors? That sounds logical to me but I'd appreciate your advice fellas.

Thanks in advance.
