I see Bob Drake is again offering molded 1 piece 40 door seals for both the long door sedans and the short door coupes. They're a bit pricey at $225 for the pair. I love driving my 40 coupe but the wind noise gets very annoying on a long trip at interstate speeds even though I have good wind lace. Does anyone have any experience with this product?
 
Well to make sure the noise is coming from the lower seal I would roll a towel and lay it along the floor to see if the noise quiets down. Once upon a time you could buy just the rubber seal to install in the stainless seal plate.
 
I have the Drakes door seals with the SS plates and they seem to work well on my 40 deluxe coupe with 39 doors I bought mine years ago and they were not that $225 price but the quality was good.
 
I have the Drake 3 sided door seals on my '40 coupe. Been there for about 10 years.
They help, still not completely quiet at speed. That's where the earplugs come in to play.
 
To be clear the $225 seals go around the outer perimeter and are not the bottom seals. That's another separate part.
