24V Renshaw 0 Posted April 11, 2006 What is the extra seal on the door shut of this american rado all about? Is it in addition to the normal seals? If so does it make any difference to wind noise etc? Looks like it clips in so there must be little holes in the rear 1/4?? Discuss :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted April 11, 2006 How weird is that, could be useful for wind noise reduction as you say. I wonder if its on Etka. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Well, iirc from browsing ETKA the other day, you can get additional seals for dusty climates - maybe this is one of those seals? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted April 11, 2006 it'd add a nasty black 'scar' down the side of the car though, I'd have thought it'd be highly visible on anything other than a dark coloured C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 11, 2006 Yeah - thats the one. Me and Steve found it on ETKA back when we were over in Germany and killing time in the hotel - seal for dusty climates! Tempests US Spec G60 does have them fitted.. They actually make the car seem a little more complete - you seem them in the gaps between the doors / pillars but you only see them if you're really looking!

Tempest 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Cruise control. Sorry, couldn't resist, but US-spec Rados are pretty much fully specc'ed :-) Yup, have those door trim seals, or whatever Etka calls them. Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rarak69 0 Posted April 15, 2006 ive got the seals on my daily driver corrado, and my trusty parts car when the daily breaks down! they are definately noticable, i never realized the euro car's didnt have these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turbodub4 0 Posted April 16, 2006 hey guys it appears that i am an idiot... i went out to double check and i do have those seals... but as rarak69 said they arent noticable as i didnt even know they were there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
