According my dealer they have fitted the new doorseals.

Does anybody knows the exact difference between the old and new doorseals - as visually- I couldn't notice any difference(s) ?

TIA

(btw one seal is still squeaking)

As said, I couldn't determine any visual differences myself. (btw nor my dealers). Perhaps it is another rubbercompound

I have not yet had the new seals installed, but I recall someone saying that the new seals had small yellow dots running down the seal as opposed to the solid black. Hopefully 530E60NL will be able to confirm for us.
