Front /rear door alignment

Has anyone adjusted the front door of their Jeep?

Anything to be careful of before i go and bust something.

I have this irritating wind noise and have noticed that the front and rear doors are not aligned correctly or is this

Before you try messing with the door alignment try this.

From the inside of the door grab the door at the top and brace the lower part against your knees gently pull and rock on the top(use lots of force, just no jerky movements) - dont worry, you wont break the door or anything, chances are you will pull the door in a few mm at the top and it will solve your wind noise, its a quick adjustment that usually cures such aligments. I had to do it on all 4 doors after the rollover to get the wind noise to go away.

I need to pull the door out at the top a few mm's, it's not aligning with the top end of the rear door.

Perhaps i should try pulling in the rear door so it marries with the front.

Sounds about like what I had to deal with, consider that the top of the front door doesn't need to come out, rather the top of the rear door needs to come in.

Try that first, that will keep your doors tightest against the seal overall.
