I expect more than a replacement car - if even obtainable
they don't have one seal its more like 3 on each door.... we had another post suggesting they have big noise - I struggle to get this as mine is an early one with utter silence - how about a pano roof, do you have this, if so I'd be checking that or if anyone ever opened the sunroof ?
silicon spray is the way to get door seals to stay healthy and slip back in to their correct position - needs doing every 3 months

This is my favorite absurdly priced seal. I bought this for like $165 a couple years back...

Some people reported success in reducing the wind noise by filling some holes between the doortweeter and the base of the sidemirror:

I did this but it had no affect for me.
Next step for me is to replace some of the (expensive) doorrubbers.

Depending on the make and model of your car, the cost can vary quite a bit, but for a full set of new seals, you might be looking at anywhere from $100 to $500 or more. OEM parts tend to be on the pricier side, but you can often find aftermarket options that still do the job well.
When I was dealing with a similar issue, I found that replacing the seals really cut down on the noise, especially on the highway. If you’re after something more customized or need something specific, companies like Mantaline can help with tailored solutions. They’ve got a lot of experience with elastomeric profiles, so they might have exactly what you need!
