I just had new rubber installed on my 54 pickup doors ... hinges were 
repaired and doors rehung (nice job, too) ... but the driver-side door 
started rattling (slightly) since the cold weather has started and I 
can hear a little wind at the top-back corner of the door, as well.

I've heard enough stovebolters say that new latches and strikers take 
care of this problem, so I just ordered new door latches and strikers 
from Chevy Duty ... I also ordered the 4 clutch-head screwdrivers, but 
they're on back order, so I guess I'll have to wait for them to arrive 
before I can do the install.

Anyway, before I do this, I'd appreciate any helpful tips and/or tricks 
from those of you who've entered the been-there-done-that zone.
:o)

THANKS.

Alan
