Default 91 Mustang LX Door Problems

Has anyone else had them, or is it just me? My doors seem to not close all the way most of the time, I can hear wind still coming in... Also, my door handle on my passenger side broke off today. Along with the other problems, the driver side door window screaches against something in the door... Is it worth getting poppers for the doors, or just fixing them? If so, where can I get parts? Thanks for the help in advance...

The door handles are plastic and it is very common for them to break, you can get new ones at 50resto.com ... As for the whistling, check your weather stripping!

The door feels as if it's falling off the hinges..., does that help any at all?

Is there rust on the inner doors?? If there is, it could possibly be falling off... Check to make sure they are tight, maybe tighten up the bolts?? Don't know what else to tell you.

fox body doors dont come with bolts in the hinges, they just have that gay glue on it, one day at school my door caught a bit of wind and the top hinge broke off the body, scraped against the fender, bye bye new paint job. i got the door held back ni perfect place and just welded the sh*t out of the hinge, not going anywhere ever again. my passenger door seems to sag a bit so im going to do it to that one too sometime.

What does it scrape going up and down?Mine does the same to I am still working on it.Look inside your door panel from the top.There is rubber guides there make sure one didn't fall off.
