Getting a bit of noise coming through at the top middle of the drivers door so I decided to investigate the seals/rubbers.  I have cleaned and Gummy-Pflege'd them (I had a bottle from years back) but as I was doing it I noticed a fair few holes in the underside of the rubbers.  Seems to be on all doors so I am thinking that they may be "by design" or....  all of my rubbers are shot.  There are 2 or three of them on some doors and one or two on some of the others. 

 

It is due to go in to let them have a look in a week or so but at the risk of looking a total wazak in front of the workshop I wondered if a few other people can check theirs for me??   You need to lift up the seal (peel it back if you like) to see the place. Its right in the groin (so to speak):

 

 

 

It's been in before because of a perceived noise penetration through the door seals but they said it was normal and nothing wrong.  I wonder if these holes might be the cause??

 

Thanks all

The holes will be to let the air out when the seal is compressing as the door closes. Necessary or door will not close and seal correctly 

Normal

I wonder what could be causing the extra wind noise.  I will look around the actual window glass seals next to make sure they are not puckered/twisted and check for any dirt/gunk.  I already did the Window reset procedure.  

It's not terrible noise but I can notice it a bit more than I did.

 

Thanks

Had wind noise in my previous car (Golf mk7) due to misaligned driver door. After a quick adjustment at the dealer it was fine

I cancelled my visit 🙂
