Jake Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I've never seen it mentioned on here but there's something that really bugs me about Supras. When you're driving along with the driver's window open slightly, just a few cm, there's a terrible draught coming into the car from the door lever (the lever you pull to open the door when you want to get out). I've had three Supras and they've all done it. How come nobody else has ever mentioned it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I used to have it even with the windows fully closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 I used to have it even with the windows fully closed. Annoying, innit? On my grey car it's so bad my right leg gets cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Annoying, innit? On my grey car it's so bad my right leg gets cold! I recall feeling it more with Orange car than the Blue one but yes, it was bloody annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Nice that you mention this Jake... I have had this since I bought the car. It's been annoying me for the last 3 years! I'd assume it was an issue with the plastic sheet that seals to the inside of the door frame but after very securely sealing it to the frame it still did it... I'd concluded it was just caused by some suction caused by drawing air into the door card area from where the window normally sits (in between the fabric door card seal and the rubber outer seal). It's difficult to explain but I don't have my supra with me to take a pic of what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Your inner door plastics is ripped or missing. Replaced that on mine (and VERY securely fitted it) and it still caused a draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I've noticed a terrible draught also. Definately more prominent when the roofs off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, my mistake, I should have mentioned that I was referring to the heterosexual models of Supra not the Aerotops. Does the breeze make your medallions rattle together?

Ian C Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I get this but again, only if a window is open. There must be an air channel through the door handles but it's only apparent when the cabin pressure is lower than external pressure, i.e. the window is open and you are moving. Hmmm.
