Those pieces are missing from our 1995 E320 and at highway speeds I hear noise from air blowing through the engine compartment and exiting at the base of the windshield. I suspect a previous owner, or tech, removed them when working on the radiator or A/C evaporator and never replaced them. Bought new ones, but haven't installed them yet. If these pieces are missing air bypasses the evaporator and evaporator affecting their performance too, especially in FL.
It's also possible the window tint installer damaged/removed the interior window seals.
It would be good if you could compare your window seals with another 124 car that's in excellent condition.

ah, I forgot about that test... i will do that today.....
so not a door alignment issue?
I am curios about the filler pieces you talk about, i don't see where the could fit in the engine bay considering the fan shroud covers the whole radiator ...do you a pic or a part number?
Finally, i am curios about the corner of the door seal i show in the picture. there is a small strip where it is very smooth and very different from the rest of the seal (each door), is this normal or is it missing something such as a piece of tape? there is factory tape on the corners of the rear door seals........
thanks
