Just a quick question before I go to work - when travelling at about 50 and above, there is very noticeable noisy draft coming straight into my ear !

Does anyone know how to remedy this problem until I get a full Scooby Sport System, when i will be driving around with the windows open anyway ?!!!

Try opening the door, pressing the close window button and then close the door again ! it may just be the window hasnt closed all the way. The frameless windows are renowned for this !

The rubber seal usually starts letting air in after a door alignment. Just where the rubber bends around the plastic wing mirror surround. If this is where it is coming in, and your car is under warranty they should eventually replace the door rubber.

Do what Ian says, it's what I do, really annoys me sometimes, but with the DP now fitted i can't hear anything else except the exhaust, so it's not a big problem

I've got a strip of foam draft excluder inside the seal to press it harder against the glass which seems to do the trick.
