air leaking into cabin @ high speed

21' G Class here. When I drive on highways, I can feel cold air flow (presumably from outside) when I put my hand near the door seal. Do you guys also experience this? I wonder if it is due to the exposed gap between the door and the frame. I have never experienced this in other cars and they all have a rubber seal between the door and the frame that cover the gap.

Post a pic - maybe you 're missing a section of seal.

No, I haven’t noticed that at all.

Mine is like a vault. If you vape or have a bud that does have blow a cloud where you think it is coming in and then look around unless of course you can see what the problem is.

There were bulletins about cabin sealing on the new ones when the body updated, but from what I saw they were related to odd air pressure noises due to it sealing much better than the old style. Might be worth a dealer visit, it may not be normal and might be a simple fix.

No issues like this on mine.

No air leaking into cabin, but I had whistling. The seal around the window had to be replaced, which involves taking the whole door apart. The seal took a few weeks to arrive too
