2001 mazda b4000 rattling doors!!!

[Ganzo]

Hi everyone, I just purchased my truck but I did one mistake I forgot to drive it on the highway. Once I pass 60mph my doors start to rattle LOUD and I can hear wind coming in through the top where the doors meet. Will changing the weather strip help? Has anyone had the same problem oh by the way I have the 4 door dual sport.

Is both sides of the truck? Could be seals but could be as easy as adjusting the strikers/latches, do that first unless your seals are visably shredded. And welcome to TRS.

Well I just checked the seals and they look fine to me. I'm going to buy some lubricant and see if it makes a difference. The strikers/latches don't move at all I checked to see if there loose but I didn't notice any play in them

For the whistling air, I found that some older vehicles need to be gently "pursuaded". That means holding the door wide open, and smacking the very top of the door sideways with the palm of my hand, pretty hard. The idea is to SLIGHTLY curve (or warp or bend) the flimsy top half of the door inwards towards the door-frame by about 2 mm (1/8 inch) which is barely noticeable, but it stops the whistling. This means the skinny top rail of the door itself that surrounds the glass, and the desired warp starts at about mirror height.
