Door window seals

Post by Kieron g »

Hi. Could someone tell me if it's normal to have gaps at the ends of the door window seals please.
The seals on my car are in good condition, they just seem too short. I could probably get a pen top in the gaps at the ends.
There must be rain water getting inside the doors and draining out the holes at the bottom which worries me a bit.
I think I need to sort a better system to seal the doors against the weather but still allow the windows to open and close...

The gap is not meant to be there, but over time they do shrink. Mine have massive gaps and it's been on my to do list for ages to get some new ones! I think you can get them aftermarket from places like Seals Direct

I thought that couldn't be right. Thanks for the lead for new ones.
