i dropped the Drivers side whilst the lacquer was drying which has left a mark but thankfully its not noticeable unless you look or see it in direct sunlight, but since they are temporary I don't mind and it can always be redone.

then when talking to Toby he showed me the fix that he had done to his his door seals to minimize the wind noise, and in his car it was alot better than mine, so i gave it a bash:

bit of rubber inside the upper seal and inside the window seal:
