Default feeling a draft....

I have a 99.5 a4 and I was wondering if anybody else here feel a draft coming from the door handle
on the inside of the car on driver and passenger side. The draft is coming out from the seams of the vinyl. Is there any way to resolve this?

I've noticed the same thing. All the doors have that draft, and I'm not that sure why. I heard it was to prevent fogging of the windows but I don't think thats true.

Same thing happens on my 97 1.8T, but don't know the cause. Dealer said that there was no problem. Let me know if you find out anything new.

Default It's from the water drains at the bottoms of the door...

they open to the outside so that they can direct the water that way. With the flow though ventilation the interior is under negative pressure and some air gets pulled in. It does have the advantage of drying out the inside of the door. The air also tends to come out around the window switchs, and if that were a concern you could pull the door panel off and tape plastic over the inside of that part of the door panel.
