This is old school vehicle - 1984 Dodge Ram B-250 van. I'm going to sound damp the whole thing but first I've got to eliminate the window noise otherwise there will be no point in proceeding. The main offenders are the front manual roll downs and of course the famous no-drafts.

Suggestions anyone?

thanks

not very, just a matter of ripping the old ones off and glueing new ones on.

They are around 150 bucks for a full set on a sedan,including trunk seals, depending on where ya find them. Crappy Tire can order them , etc...

yeah newseals is the best way ......... if your just into cheap and don't care how crappy it looks I used clear packing tape around the seams of my triangle window on an old car I had once cause they couldn't get seals for me ........

also check that the doors seat properly if your hinge pins are worn out the doors won't seal you'll need new hinge pins ......... never done a doge, but my old chevy cars used to cost me like 20 bucks a door .......
