I have a 97 9000 Aero and am tired of the sound of the wind whistling around
all the doors and windows. Am interested in replacing the rubber seals
around the doors and the sunroof. Has anyone done it? If so, how hard is the
job and is it likely to solve the problem?

Thanks.

I've never really looked at sunroof seals but door rubbers are easy to
remove and fit - you can normally just pull them off with your fingers
and thump them back on with the palm of your hand. I bet they're not
cheap though.

Are you sure your problem isn't down to the  window-frames sagging
away from the body? It's often the cause of rain-leaks and wind noise
rather than the rubbers.

If they are sagging, they can normally be straightened up with a bit
of brute force. Make sure the windows are wound down before you try it
though...

Cheers,

Colin.
