If the doors are out of alignment you would hear a whole bunch of wind noise on the freeway, I would assume. I didn't notice any extra noise when I drove it, but I wasn't listening for it in particular. My gti fills up like a swimming pool when it rains, because if the seals inside the doors. If they are missing or not attached correctly they will leak water into the car. I used a shower curtain and some rubber cement to do mine.. I was a little sloppy and it still leaks, perhaps I'll look into a better glue next time. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
