I have been trying to find a mystery wind noise on my own vanagon as well. I am now wondering about my door seals. I noted a gap on the pax door seal when the door was closed and wedged a piece of rubber under it to make a seal fit. My noise was cut in half. Figuring out whether to try and remove the seal from my spare vanagon or to order one from busdepot or someone. Busdepot site is down at the moment though. Status check on server comes back with errors. Anybody ever tried to reuse a door seal?
