Another one about wet windows

[bushiee]

I know this has been posted time and time again, but I feel my case is a little different. If not then please can someone tell me how to fix it.

Of all the other posts I've read it seems condensation is the problem which I presume is covering the whole of the window/windows, with mine there are only damp patches (the best way I can explain it) in the very front corners of the two front door windows and down the front side of the rear doors(where the door pillars are).
When I wind the windows down and then back up there is actual water droplets on the inside of the windows.
I have done all the checks listed in the numerous post and there is no sign of damp or water anywhere, Floors are bone dry foot well same and the boot is bone dry also.
The only place which seems to have water anywhere is the sills of the front doors when I open them.

Take today it rained quite heavy but dried reasonably quickly the usual damp patches/strips on the side windows, nothing on front or rear.
Then when I wind the windows down then up and it looked like it had rained on the inside of the windows.

Does this mean there is water getting into the door and soaking the black fur/velvety strips?

I have had a look under the doors and the drain holes look clear enough and earlier this year I had the drivers side door panel off to realign the electric window but I didn't notice any rust or water marks.

Same thing last Sunday really warm sunny day so I washed the car but straight after there's wet patches on all for side windows.

If its the door seals which I'm thinking it might be, how hard a job is it to replace and where would I get some?

cheers

I have exactly the same, only the corners of the front windows get wet. I'm curious about a solution.

Got the same. No idea why.

Its so annoying when you spend 4/5 hours washing, polishing and waxing, cleaning the windows hoovering it all out only to have wet patches in the corners of the windows.
Someone must have some idea as to what causes this, And how to stop it.

Water gets in the doors, they're not water tight and were never meant to be.

Yes I understand that but I have never owned a car where there is water on the inside of the windows after a rain storm or washing the car, there must be something at fault. If we could figure out what part is at fault we might be able to cure it.

Nobody has any ideas on solving this? As big as a problem it seems?

Have you sent the window down and checked the inside of the seal to make sure all is ok?

I have the same issue, would be handy if someone that works for seat could post the technical bulletin so we can see how its done

Some people have suggested replacing the main door rubbers to help seal the door better and prevent moisture getting in

Yeah Done that and had a look but it all "looks" ok but not sure what it would look like if it was knackered.

I will get some pics of it next time we have crappy weather or I wash it.
