Later year vans (90-91) have additional seals between front of door and body panels.

I'm about to begin a campaign to reduce the noise level in my van. First I want to reduce wind noise, and then will go for sound deadening materials applied where necessary.

I have a lot of wind noise around the upper parts of my doors, as well as around my sliding door on my 88 GL. It sounds as if the seals are not seated in spots against the body frame when shut.

Any suggestions as to how to identify the spots and deal with this?
