Air leak past door hinges

[fintubi]

When I called ERA about this issue, Doug recommended the same expanding-foam solution as Bill S. He didn't mention the bag idea, which may make it more effective. He did emphasize the importance of using the minimal-expansion variety (blue can) to avoid putting pressure on the body.

The air leak is obvious on my knee and when I probe it is certainly around the hinges.

Minimal expansion foam sounds like a good solution.

The body was sealed by ERA, but they must have missed something.

I do drive long road trips and sometimes with a top. The heater will work better with the body sealed.

Wouldn't long pants be the easiest fix?

I had the exact same problem with #833. It had the bonded body option also.
The heat would come from behind the door hinge area and after driving for 20 or 30 min. your knee would feel like it was getting a bad sunburn. It was the same on the passengers side also. Fixed it with the expandable foam.
