Door seals

If one's door seal is worn, might that be the cause for it not closing with that solid "thunk"? This is not a suddenly occurring thing to the best of my knowledge, as I noticed it on another 911. The door seal was basically worn out and it didn't have that same tight, sturdy feeling as mine and others I have experienced.

Yes. I replaced my door seals as they were a little beaten, instant difference.

What's involved in changing a door seal and about how long does it take?

Less than an hour if you are lucky. Remove old one, clean the door, install new one.

For those of you that have changed them, how was the wind noise... better?
