Abstract
A door assembly for controlling air flow through a motor vehicle climate control system includes a door panel having a pair of opposed faces and a terminal edge. A seal member is attached to at least one of the pair of opposed faces and has a terminal edge generally disposed along the terminal edge of the panel. A film member overlies the seal member and also has a terminal edge generally disposed along the terminal edge of the panel. The terminal edge of the film member is substantially non-linear such that noise produced by air flow passing around the terminal edge of the panel is minimized.
