    Small window seal air leak

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have an -09 A5 Coupe, 3.2 Automatic with 82,500 miles on it. Just the other day I started having a tiny bit more wind noise at the passenger door seal. Is it normal for the rubber to dry out and not seal correctly, or is it a thing where the door hinges or window positioning might be slightly off from wear and tear? I am appreciative for any help.

    Interested to hear if anyone has a solution to this as well. I've been experiencing the same issue since I bought my car at 29k miles.

    To add to your description, my noise is most noticeable when the roads are wet.

    Try applying silicone spray to the rubber seals and see if that takes care of it.

    Probably better to spray on a rag and wiping instead of spraying directly on the seal.

    The Safelite guy who replaced my windshield on my other car noticed my Audi in the garage and said when the rubber seals go bad on my A4 (and they definitely will)--try silicone spray.

    Another suggestion is Zymol Seal.
