ISSUE:
Windnoise and water leaks on "T" roof and convertible models may be caused by mis-aligned (sagging) doors. The sagging doors will not
allow the front door glass to properly seal against the weatherstrip assemblies.
ACTION:
To correct this, install a door alignment kit. Two (2) door alignment kits are available for service, one for "T" roof models and the other for
convertible models. Refer to the following service procedure for detailed installation procedures.
