Who here has replaced the Door Seal and noticed a difference
 

I've been hemming and hawing at this.....

Mainly due to the cost, at around $400+ for all 4 doors.
I have a small tear on the lower bottom primarily on the Front R/L doors just due to age and wear, and well, if I'm going to do it, I would do all 4.


Just got the X back from the body shop tonight.
I'll take a look tomorrow morning, but I suspect the door trim is slightly misaligned, as I'm getting some noticable wind noise coming through the front door.

In thinking of this, just reminded me of the weatherstripping I keep on putting off.

So lemme hear it. Have you replaced yours and have you noticed a *difference*. The OCD in me just wants to replace them....as those 2 tiny holes on the bottom just drive me crazy every weekend when I wash the cars ;-)

I did my front two doors when I had it in to my indy....I was charged $29 for the part on each door...is the $400 quote from a stealership?

I haven't really noticed a reduction in noise, but it looks much better :)

It's generally about a bit over $110 or so the last time I checked.
This is with the usual OEM discounts.

I can't see how it could possibly cost $29 per door..

I did my front two doors a while back. It did help the noise a bit. I don't remember the cost but I think I got them from Huskerparts (or maybe FCPeuro)...

^The $29 piece are the ones on the doors itself prob. these are the actual strips on the opening for the door that go all the way around the door opening I assume.

I haven't done mine yet but they are starting to deteriorate slowly.

Also starting to get a bit of deterioration on the lower rear door seams, going to have to nip that and get it redone before I have to have the whole doors painted.

I bit the bullet.....4 Bennys poorer.

LOL. I declined on this back in fall, and that goodness I did as I needed to replace the sunroof cassette a few weeks later, and that part was 5X as much ;-)

:thumbup:

Keep us updated! I'm following suit depending on the outcome...

Not much to update....I'm sure the rubber will be less compressed.

No minor tears on the bottom just from 10+ years of getting in/out, feet running across it and abrading it.

It's kinda costly for the ROI of what it is, but it is what it is....ya know.

I noticed how bad mine were when I was doing the Dynavin install. Definitely something I will address probably around the same time I drop the headliner down to redo it.

I was hoping you'd update less wind noise with the rubbers less compressed. I think I'm getting wind noise thru mine...
