Good point, the seal looks pretty good but seems to be squashed down in just the upper corner of the door. The door *looks* fine, the gap between door and body looks fine and is even all the way around. How would I know if the door is bent? How would such a thing happen and how would I fix it? Block the door open with a 2x4 and lean on the top a little? As I say I stuck a piece of zip tie under the seal, so between the seal and the top of the door, in the same plane as the road.

Re: [MBZ] Door seals
Curt Raymond wrote: Hey gang, How hard is it to replace the door seals on an '85 190D? I'm getting a huge amount of wind noise and a not inconsiderable amount of wind in my left ear while I'm driving. I wedged a piece of zip tie under the door seal one day and that seemed to reduce the amount of noise and wind until it fell out the first time I opened the door... I see that Rusty has the seals, is this a fairly easy DIY job? Usually it's door adjustment and NOT the door seal that's the problem when there's wind noise. I've never had to do door seals on a 201. I have heard that you REALLY must get factory seals if you are going to replace them. I have dozens of posts about aftermarket door and trunk seals being unsatisfactory!!

Re: [MBZ] Door seals
How hard is it to replace the door seals on an '85 190D? It ought to be a straightforward job. IIRC, a putty knife and some weatherstrip glue are both required to do it. Are you _sure_ your seals are shot? If they're not all torn up it could be that the door is misadjusted, or the window frame area has gotten a bit bent and no longer presses the seal against the door frame properly. It's pretty sad to replace a seal only to find that it didn't fix the problem. So, how do the seals _look_? -- Jim
