Default Ive got a bit of a draught coming in

Strange one this. Recently ive noticed when I put the window down I get a breeze coming through my speaker grill area making my leg cold ( i know im a wimp).

Never recall this happening before & seems ok when the window is up. Anyone have any idea what this could be. Door trim seems ok.

It's "draft".

And I agree with the above poster.

Check door seals (try spraying high pressure water around and see if any creeps in).

Check your fan settings. Set it to windscreen only and see if that make a difference. is the A/C on etc....

Put some packing foam sheet inbetween the speaker and the plastic speaker grilles maybe?

I know the draft you mean, Ive just put up with it till now but next time I have the speakers out im gonna give this a go as Ive got some foam sheet knocking about. It also might help protect the speaker a little from weathering.

Doubt it will be coming through the speaker grill. There will just be a flow of air that makes it seem that way.

With the roof down I get a similar effect, but the other way round, rasing the window changes the air flows in the cabin and some of the dead spaces it creates means the air flows more round the legs. IMO.
