Wind noise and driver's door alignment...

Wind noise and driver's door alignment...
I will be attempting soon to see what's wrong with my driver's door. I have to slam it hard in order to keep it closed fully. When it's closed fully a small portion of the driver's side glass rest on the frame of the back window metal causing a shiny area on the metal where it's been closed so many times against it.Sometimes when I slam the door hard in my convertible the driver's side window seems to come out of alignment also and sits uneven in the window. So after slamming the door for the 2nd time while driving, I have to lower the driver's side window a tad then let it up again to get it back aligned. I also have some wind noise. (I know there is wind noise in my 93 conv) but this wind noise is pretty obvious and I believe can be fixed. The weatherstripping on the driver's side looks to be intact in most places but I would rather try to see why my driver's door isn't aligning up right 1st. I've heard of replacing the driver's door hinges. Have any of you guys replaced your door hinges? (Also my driver's door hinges doesn't seem to have nothing to stop it from fully swinging out. Is there a safety mechanism to have it slow down the full swing like most cars have or is this the way Mustangs are?)

Check out 50resto.com They have everything you need to redo your door hardware. Sounds like your striker may need to be replaced. My 91 vert doors are a little off now (not flush w/ body), the hinges are fine, I think it's all in the striker/locking mechanism. Good Luck

If the top part of your door is hitting the back window then you are correct you need to replace the hinges! It probably wouldnt hurt to replace the latch and striker also.
