Leaking Passenger Door

After 2 Days of rain, I went out to the Bronc This morning, And noticed a stale smell. Well, After looking around a little bit, There was water under the carpet on the passenger side. From right above the door to right where the seatbelt assembly box is. What is the deal? WeatherStripping?!! My door sits a little off, Anything i can do to fix that? Replace bushings in the hinges or something?!?!? PLEASE?!?!

thanks a ton

Realign the door by unbolting the back of the fender & working on the door hinge bolts.

If the door feels like it has any play in it, i.e. you can wiggle the door up and down when it's open, you can replace the bushings and pins in the hinges. If that's not the case, then loosening the hinge bolts and adjusting the door may be your best bet.

How would i go about loosening the door to adjust it? Sorry if i sound like an idiot. There is a little play, and all my weatherstripping is in decent shape, So i dont think its that. I just dont wanna get the carpet ruined, Or smelling real rank either

Thanks
