2001 Explorer Sport Drafty

Question:

I recently upgraded from a 1996 Sport to a 2001 Sport and have an annoying problem.  There is a terrible cold air draft entering the vehicle on both doors in the vicinity of the speakers.  Has anyone else have the same problem and what is the fix? Thanks, Jim

Response:

Sounds like the weathersshield has been damaged – possibly when aftermarket speakers were installed? You’ll need to pull the door panels and take a look to be sure. — Jim Warman

Response:

Thanks Jim, they are the factory speakers and the vehicle was a new leftover.  I guess it’s time for a trip to the local dealer — Jim
