Door seal guide

[Bclowes86]

Anyone got a simple door seal guide with diagrams thinking of just using silicone.

There is a good 1 in faq's section,do it properly the 1st time with butyl tape,save you alot of time if silicone don't work & alot of ppl on here have tried it & failed

Anyone ever removed the rubber seal at the bottom of the door completely so the water can drain put free of any obstacles

 

[LEE69]

No, but you can slice to v's into the rubber so the water drains away rather than sitting on the plastic.

 

[Bclowes86]

Where abouts on the rubber mate

 

[LEE69]

On this seal

I was actually on about the seal that fits to the bottom of the door where the drain holes are

 

[Slimy]

That seal is stopping water coming up off the road, I suspect if you remove it you will just make things worse.

 

[Bclowes86]

U know u have put the vs like that if the water isn't draining away in the first place with the holes why would it drain more with the vs the other black rubber would be stopping any water getting out surely

 

[LEE69]

Because the water comes in-between the panel and door skin and sits on the door/cill.
These v's drain it off.

 

[Bclowes86]

Okay wicked I done the door seals last night ill put some vs in too for good measure is two enough can I also do this to the rear. Thanks mate

 

[LEE69]

If the door seals are fine there is no need for the v's.
The v's are a simple solution till you can get the seals done.

 

[Bclowes86]

Opened doors no water on sills back carpet and front passenger side still wet but pressume it needs to be dried out

I ordered all the bits listed in the guide, fingers crossed the weather holds at the week end because im sick n tired of steamed up windows. That guide looks first class. I shall report back.
