My dealer told me he changed the door seals, as a result of a complaint I had that I hear some noise in front doors when passing bumps.
However, I tried to visually check what is new, and I cannot notice anything changed in rubber on front doors.
Are these door seals something inside where I cannot see? The noise is much proeminent than before, and I will return tomorrow to chat with them. Any ideea on what to check before to make sure they changed anything? Anyone has a picture of the much discussed here, door seals?

Here you go.
"Improved door seals can be recognized by the words "EPDM+Polyesterflock" (1) and a yellow dot (2) located on the bottom of the seal."
