Made a world of difference and he only charged me $50.
Interesting. Is this a permanent fix, or does it need to be reapplied every so often? Any other info you can provide, like pics, etc.?

The tech that applied the 3M film thought it would last about 2 years in this application-maybe longer. The tape is not nearly as noticeable as it looks in the photo.

Every car will age differently. Depending on if the car was parked outside or inside can sometimes make the door seals wear quicker. Sometimes replacing the door/window seals can help your problem.
