Default air leaking in from driver side front door's speaker cover

i felt there's a draft coming out from my driver side door's speaker cover. you won't feel it unless you touch the speaker cover, it's only noticeable during freeway speed driving. i haven't gotten a chance to see if same thing happens on the passenger side. i've had work done by body shop on that door, therefore i'm kind of **** about every little abnormalities in that area. anyone else notice this?

I had this problem on my Maserati a few years ago. When they put the door back together they forgot to glue down the vapor barrier that keeps the weather out.

I have never had the door apart on my lexus.

Thanks. i went to the body shop today and told them what you described, they told me leave the car there for couple hours for them to take a look.

When you feel the air, what do you have the HVAC controls set on?
