Draught through door seal
Discussion
Drove the car wearing shorts for the first time yesterday, and noticed air blasting my right leg. Felt down around the front of the door, and it seems to be blowing through where the door seal is crimped flat (to allow drainage). Anyone else noticed this, and is it a problem (i.e. can water get in just as easily)?

Its not the crimp i tried mine without & still a draft, actually seems to be coming more from the front area of the door...
I get a draught in the same place as s7paul, and as biggiles says, if you close the windows it pretty much dissapears. There is also another draught that can blow through the holes that give access to the door hinge bolts (I think) just in front of the door. In my car at least, these holes aren't sealed in the standard TVR mastic and fibreglass disc style. They are just covered by carpet. If that carpet is loose, the air blasts in.

I noticed exactly that problem with mine yesterday.
