Open The Door On 2010 Gmt900 And Snow Falls In!

[ffthornton]

Maybe place a tarp or something over the top of the truck and the door so in the morning you can just pull it off. Just finding something that wont scratch the paint will be the hard part.

one thing that I've found to help this (if you have a crew cab) is open the rear door first, then slowly open the front door. of course, try to brush off as much as you can before opening any doors. I think it's the vacuum, or draft, that's created when you open the door that swoops some snow onto the seat. by opening the rear door (you'll get snow back there, but at leat you're not sitting on it) that breaks the draft effect on the front door. I don't know, but for me it works. of course if you've got an extended cab or regular cab ignore this, lol!

I was thinking about adding a mount to my headache rack for a big umbrella!

Unreal what some people complain about. All vehicles do this unless they design a vehicle that the roof hangs over the door sills.

 

 

I'm not complaining, I'm more concerned with long term effects on my seats and other internal parts. Thanks for the replies guys. After reading I don't believe I'll have many problems with this. Just have to brush before getting in where possible.

Yup, not much you can do about it.

One of the benefits of living in a place with 4 seasons!

This happened for 9 years with my 2000 and I had no issues. Just brush whatever falls in off

Yep, Unless you have a giant umbrella, garage the truck, or live in a climate that doesnt snow this will happen with every vehicle. Surprising, it also does it when it rains too go figure.....

I am not complaining because it is my own dumb fault, but I always kick myself in the butt when I do this: Park truck at night after driving with the wipers on, forget to turn them off. Next morning go out to warm up truck, covered in a few inches of snow), open door and just reach in to start truck with door still open, wipers kick on swishing all the snow that was on my windshield into my cab, door panel and seat. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I do this 5 or 6 times a year, too. I do not learn.

I do this too in the winter time. Pain in the ass!

What's worse...Leaving the wipers on and coming out the next morning and there's 1/2" of ice covering the whole truck...Start it, wipers kick on, wipers DON'T MOVE, strip out the wiper

 

I've done this TWICE now.

[Wingnut]

And for what it's worth, I've never had a vehicle that didn't dump snow inside when you opened the door.

[Calgarynorm]

My 2013 and 2003 Silverados both have this issue of snow falling onto the seat when you open the door. This morning I had a wet butt on the way to work due to snow falling out of the top door groove onto the seat. I swept it with the brush but still got wet.

I hear the 2014 truck doors no longer wrap up over the roof - they indent into the roof like they used to many years ago. I wonder if that cures the issue?

[kstruckcountry]

Holy thread resurrection. This has been gone over like 30 times.

 

The new trucks aren't any different in this aspect. Just like always, take your hand or snow brush and brush the snow off the door jamb! Maybe you didn't brush hard enough or something, lol. There's really no solution.

[Bowtie_Beast]

I think it's a vacuum effect. When you open the door, air/snow gets sucked in. Unavoidable.

[CapitalTruck]

I was thinking the 2014s might stop this too to some degree, since their doors are completely recessed. I'm betting the old square bodies weren't quite as bad about this as they had some serious gutters. Sometimes I miss those gutters, like when I have the windows down after a rain, go to make a turn, and all the roof water pours in on me or my passenger (depending on direction of turn).
