don't start me on baby oil ❗noone values human life anymore😂
but seriously you have to fit em slam the doors shut and leave them for a week or so to bed in !!! no im not joking and even then theyll be tight for a while
dam replacing the door rubbers ALREADY why cant vw make things to last:cussing those rubbers are probably ONLY around 30yrs old😂
