Anyone facing dull door closing sound?
I've a 2013 GS350 fsport, and the sound of the door closing for the most used doors (Front 2) sounds very "un-lexus" like. Could it be the rubber door seals getting soft? Rear doors are still sounding like new. Anyone been through the same thing?

I am not having this problem but if the car is dead quiet and im going at 40+, I can barely hear a sort of whistle that almost sounds like its coming from the drivers door seal.... I wonder if it is related to this
topic.
I also have to wonder if some of this is caused by ****bird passengers slamming the doors, sure that doesn't help. I'm still trying to figure out this disease but then again since 2009 I've been a Toyota fanboi and this is
something that just doesn't happen, I guess people are still used to old doors on old american crapboxes. I always tell people "just close the door gently, it will close all the way no problem, you dont have to murder it.... "

It's most likely the weather stripping that has been worn out. Yup, they murdered it.
That rubber is the one dampening the impact force when u slam the door hard. Do that repeatedly with a lot of force and they will die, same with the trunk, no need to slam hard anymore.
