I always take mine through the car was, not anymore though cuz the paint on my passenger door is bubbling and chipping off. Thanks to whoever painted it and didn't bother sanding the factory coat at all[:@]

It sounds like the paintshop took off the weather stripping and didn't bother to reinstall it the correct way...

matt, trust me a car wash will mess up your paintespecially new paint, so I would be careful. I worked at one for four months and you would be surprised at how much damage can be done to your car (trust me on that).

If anything I would stick to a touchless car wash, but i'm not a fan of high pressure water hitting my paint along with the fact it doesn't clean the car all that well.

Shut your door with you inside and look for daylight, you might have to roll window down, grab bottom of frame, then bend the top in.
