So I had the potential for the dredded 'door locks and doesn't open problem'. So I had the lock changed. Normally no one steps within 4 feet of the car with a wrench unless his name is Larry B but this was a simple job so off to the local dealer. So now I feel the door does not close 'perfectly'. Something seems just a bit off and I find it gets stuck half closed more often than usual (if you don't slam it of course). This I could live with but, I'm also getting a wind noise right near the rear view mirror which I know I didn't have before. Also, I'm seeing very light witness marks on the inside of the window by the lock stem inferring some type of contact. I also notices that the rubber at the front portion on the outside of the window is riped a bit which might cause the noise. I took it back to the dealer and I was so unimpressed with the response from the tech that I told him I would take it apart myself (basically, they didn't touch the window, they couldn't have done it, I don't know what I going to look for, yada yada).
Now, the entire window unit was completely overhauled by Larry a little over a year ago and I never heard a noise prior (it was perfect). Any suggestions as to what I should look for in there? I'll also have to search for how to replace that rubber boot deal on the outside front of the window. I presume you can get that.
Thoughts?
