Make sure the doors and windows open and close without any issues. Make sure the frame rails are straight and proper. Make sure they provide a good tight seal against the elements, if not, youre looking at replacing hard to find and time consuming seals. When it comes to the elements, you should also check the front windshield and cowl to make sure they don’t leak. This is often forgotten in states like California where it hardly rains. Sweat the little things, check everything.
