side window rubbers

[69billy]

hia, ive spent 2 days changing the side window wipers with the ali trim all round..and they still leak like sieves ? bottom of the doors are full of water. I can only think its leaking between ali trim and door or the seal to the ali frame bit ? any ideas or ways to sort. there a perfect fit no gaps or damage. thanks

Hi,

I changed mine and thought the same. It turns out that the door window scrapers etc were never deisgned to be completely watertight.
Water will run down the inside of your door, and should run out of drain holes at the bottom (or in my case the rust holes).

You need plastic sheeting to protect the doorcards.

Interestingly my Seat also does this and when it has rained heavily and I open the door, it all pours out!
