Default drafts

I have a 99.5 2.8qm and are experiencing drafts of cold air coming into the interior from the window switch panel and the door handle? Anyone having similar experiences?

That's normal, due to drain holes in the bottom of the doors, etc.

Are the drafts really strong? You may have an issue with how the parts of your door are clipped on;

I too have the same problem '99.5 1.8tq. But I only feel the draft when the sunroof is open!

Default Drafts also. But only with the Sunroof open> Possible design??

I just noticed mine doing the same this but it only happens when the roof is open. I wonder if this somehow might be intentional in order to vent the roof and eliminate pressure fluxuations. I have a 99 Land Rover Discovery Series II that has no drafts whatsoever since the vehicle is designed to be as water proof as possible. Having the sunroof(s) open can be quite annoying in the Rover because I get a strong preassure fluxuation that almost sounds like a subwoofer at the right consistant speed. I allieviate it by cracking the rear windows.
