I was wondering if anyone else has noticed any air coming through the door handles and window controls on doors when travelling on the highway. I noticed it may have something to do with whether the heat is going through the defroster or through the front vents, but I haven't figured out which causes the air to come in yet. Any Solutions?

 

If it makes you feel any better I have the same problem. Problem? or design flaw. Anyways Im planing on dynamat my doors hopefully it will seel off outside air.

 

Try closing the sunroof, most of the time it creates a vacumme and draws in air from the outside.

 

i have the same problem...

 

I've got a coupe and get air coming up through the door pocket area. It is more noticeable when the sunroof is open due to the air being pulled in.

 

With my sunroof tilted up/out, I get air being sucked in through the inside door handles. You could seal that up, but its just going to cause air to be sucked in somewhere else...

 

Do some of you really think there's the perfectly sealed car out there for $35K? I got the same problem with my 04.

 

Same thing here. I'm really disappointed with the build quality of the G but when I hear the sound of that engine it makes me forget about all the squeaks and rattles.

 

same issue with 05...always anoyed me

 

same dam prob in rear driver door

 

bingo...

 

its designed so well it even considers the people who sweat a lot in their palms and it's actually an AC coming from the door handle to cool down and dry off the hands.........after all it is a 35k car.....










thats what i tell myself all the time......

 

same with me but its only from the right rear door. sucks ***, but the music drowns it out.

 

yeah, they're called HONDAS. TL, TSX, Bimmers. my friend's 325i sucks in reliability, but quiet at all speeds.

 

Did any of you remove the door lock/window panel? Or could be that it came loose over time?

I actually had this problem this morning after removing the driver's door lock/window panel (by simply pulling up on it). Once I put the panel back in, and started driving....tons of air came through it!

I thought, did I break some type of seal? So I double-checked it, reinserted twice and it still did it. Then I realized that I really didn't put the panel back in properly. It was in tight, but there are holes on the door panel that the door lock/window switch panel must slide into, otherwise there isn't a real "seal".

So, I just angled the door lock/window switch panel so that the part closest to me was lower, and the part against the door was higher. Then as I pushed down on front end of the window switch panel, I also pushed it against the door slightly, to ensure the clips slid into the holes properly.

BINGO! Air/wind is gone. Maybe that will help???
