deon

you can allways give em to me and you can buy another set ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol

make sure you have removed all the old glue n gunk from the groove

then once tehre clean and open make sure you seat the seal right to the bottom of the door lip this takes time and effort to get them into place not easy

oh yes i see what you mean

is that bit sorta spose to hang out the door a bit near the lock?

the rubber near the door isn't supposed to hang out...
the rubber really needs to be glued there....
or at least pushed into place...
and the door shut...

although I don't think I've glued Mine anywhere...

I didn't think that My doors would ever close properly,,
but it only took a little while and they were OK...
the rubbers that is....

just imagine door rubbers being fitted every few minutes at the factory.... How did they do it???

You DONT need glue just a lot of effort to clean n push the seal right home
thats why the door has the lip on it to hold the rubber seal in place

yeah deon how much do you want for them

jason ill have a look what i paid for them and come up with a super price for ya!

right i got one side in the passanger side nice and snug by giving it a good clean)thanks again)

but the drivers side slips in and out on one side too easy:o
whats going on?

deon

Get a rubber mallet or a bit of heavy rag and cover the area that loose and give it a gentel tap to close the gap a little

Is the door fitted properly in the first place do you have good and even door gaps all the way around

Are the door faces level top and bottom with the rear panel etc etc and is the front of the door sitting in the correct spot

lots of things to look at before the door seal is fitted

thanks got oneto fit beatifully
but the other side sliped srtaight in and falls straight out when you open the door
so im sending them back
plus the window seals jason sorry but all up the parts i need to send back ad up to 500 bucks
nothing but probs with this dude sending wrong stuff, not your mate vw54 got some stuff of them and they are good

deon

You need to adjust the door gap it wont fall out then

no it wasnt the gap it was the seal, i had a bit of old seal and it fitted perfect the seals different.
deon

got new seals today and after putting them on the wrong side lol fitted them properly and they fit great just a little adjustment on the doors to get the gap right and then should be sweet thanks for the replys dudas
