Door shakes and rattles

[russ.nesbitt]

The TOP of the door of my 29mvp rattles/shakes when we drive down the highway and there is a strong wind hitting the drivers side of the RV. When you look at the door, the top of it is opening and closing, you can actually see daylight at the top of the door. The pull down shade for the door window ends up hitting the window because its moving so much. It is a very loud and scarry sound. I'm afraid the window is going to break. Its almost like the door is warped.

The strange thing is, it only happens when there is a strong wind hitting the driver's side of the RV.

Has anyone else had this issue? How can I resolve it?

Check the latch on the door make sure the two screws, that hold the latch in place, have not come loose or worse yet missing, if they are loose the door may need to be realigned and the two screws tighten.

Try adjusting the striker plate. I think that is what solve my issue.

Yes, they are tight.

I noticed the seal on the door at the bottom of the door there's a couple of gaps in the seal. I am wondering if air can get in from Below the door causing the door to shake like that. I can't think of a reason why there should be a couple of 1 inch gaps in the seal at the bottom of the door.
