I took my car into the dealer the other day to have Sirius installed and had them put the new improved (to me) door seals in while I was there, All I can say is WOW what a difference, my car is now SILENT, like it shoulde be. I have this forum to thank, it's nice to have a place to read about our cars. Sirius works great, it's nice to hear Howard again.

What was it like in the cabin with the original seals? I know there is a thread somewhere buried in e60.net about this topic but want to hear it from the "horse's mouth" so to speak.

jiio, It sounded like leather creaking, snapping, popping like. It would happen upon acceleration from a standstill as well as when you went across expansion joints, very irratating. As midnight so eloquintly put it "silence IS golden"
