Never bothered me in the summer but there's a hell of a draft from the bottom part of the door about half way along. I know there are gaps in the seal at certain points for drainage but I can't believe they cause this much chilly draft.

Any ideas?

There are also air holes under the carpet wall, just in front of the door. Peel back the carpet on the vertical side of the car in front of the door and cover the holes with tape.

On mine, the rubber seal has become squashed, about half way along the bottom of the door shut. No idea how, maybe it's the interior light switch. But I can feel air coming in from there. I've been meaning to get new seals from this guy http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/ , their based near my house and he guy there used to own a Chimaera and knows what seals go where off the top of his head!

Or, stop driving around in your underpants in winter?
Wearing trousers worked for me.
Just saying biggrin


Mine has had that feature since new. Something of a TADT.
I am going to have a look now that QBee has reminded me of those holes.
Nice in the summer, not so nice some days in the winter.

the squashed parts of the door seal are needed to allow water to drain away rather than enter the cabin. I have two such bits on each side.
