Hi,
My rear passenger door seal - the rubber bit which goes all the way around the door - started to come off a month or so ago. It appears that it was stuck on with something resembling double sided selotape! The strip starts and ends at the bottom of the door, and it started to remove itself from the door, and hang down, until it was very nearly touching the road. I had to bend down and push the strip into the door and then shut the door every time I opened it! The car went in for a service yesterday, and the dealer phoned to tell me that ALL 4 needed replacing, under warranty and could it come back today, ALL day! I said can't they just do the one for now as I need the car really. He said he'd rather not, because it is a big job, and they 'have to set up the machine and everything' ?! I said WTF, it is stuck on with sticky tape! Oh no Sir, it is MUCH more complicated than that, we have to strip it back to the paint - (in other words remove the old glue!) - and then set up the machine, and it is a very complicated process. Bo***x. Anyway, I agreed to it going back, but when I got back the car back, and opened all of the doors, I realised why they couldn't just do one - because they had pulled off ALL of the others, which were fine, so now, all 4 door seals are hanging off [
]!!
We will see what happens today. This is just one thing from a long list which has REALLY annoyed me about this most recent service!!!!
Has anyone else had this happen to their door seals?
