Hi All,
Proud owner of a 2014 Prado GXL 3.0L D4D. Vehicle has approximately 80,000km.
I've had no issues with the car but I have one gripe. When moving over bumpy roads (even bitumen roads) I can hear a sound right beside my right ear. It sounds like the drivers door is moving around and the door seals are rubbing. It's much more noticeable when the conditions are cold, probably because the seals are harder when cold and become softer and more pliable when warm.
My questions are:
1) Has anybody experienced anything like this? If so, how did you resolve it?
2) I am intending to replace the RH front door weatherstrip (part 67861-60170) and the RH front door opening trim weatherstrip (62311-60150-A1). I figure if I install nice new plush seals it will resolve my issue, assuming the current seals have compressed and/or hardened.
Any other thoughts before I spend $200 on door seals? I can't see any way to adjust the tightness of the door closure or anything like this, so this feels like my only option.
Cheers,
Jay
