Removing and replacing door cards is easy.
D2 has a more complicated system than a ****ty mass produced ford that presses the door card against the door frame harder to aid with sound proofing(and also why there is a foam seal going all around it except for the top)

Indeed, I'm always surprised when I travel in my S8 with passengers and realise we're chatting to each other normally with minimal background noise in almost all road conditions and speeds.

In any other car you'd give up talking and just and turn the radio on loud. In my S8 the radio/music usually off unless there's something I particularly want to listen to. Apart from the V8....

And indeed I noticed this yesterday evening, driving along a rather poor local B-road in the S8 on a journey that recently has mostly been in the Volvo.
In that I typically drive this particular road at about 40-45mph just for comfort, but I realised I was cruising in the S8 nearer 60, give or take a bit depending on visibility ......
