Noticed this back when it was cold out but never got a chance to get it looked at (never get a chance to drive the thing) but it's going in next week. My left leg (when driving) just always seemed cold. Never thought to stick my hand down there to see where the cold air was coming from.

Anyone else feel air coming in through the speaker grilles? Mine does it at all four doors but I just drove an '08 and it was fine, didn't feel anything.

No Bose, if it matters.

(scratch) hmm. i would say that the air is just coming through the grills because thats the easiest way into the cabin. try pulling the door skin apart and look for any cracks to the outside world. is it blowing in? or just kind drafty?
 
Most of my past vehicles had water drain holes at the bottom of each door. In addition; the speakers would nave a piece of plastic covering the back side of the speaker so no air could get through. The plastic was thin sheet, something like from a zip-lock bag. If it's worth the effort, pull the door panel and check and maybe tape some plastic over the speaker if needed. Ed
 
Sounds like the door may have been removed and they left the wind barrier off when it was put back?
