New to square bodies for about a month but have been watching all the different repair and upgrade threads. I just bought a nice 190k mileage 90 that is very well maintained. The barn door seals don't leak but the doors squeak. I use a pure silicone spray from 3M on all my classic vehicle seals and it at least stops the squeaking.

What about barn doors that bounce around and make a LOT of noise when going over bumps?? I like the barn door look better than the tailgate, so converting is out of the question.

If the doors are bouncing around and rattling there should be some plastic shims/bushings in the door jambs that help firm things up.

It doesn't have them now (not sure if it ever did) but they shouldn't be to hard to make myself

I pulled those pins out of a parts truck. Someone had ripped out the weatherstrip between the hood and cowl and all the pins were there so I took them.
