Weatherstrip Leaks

ages944 · 07-13-2008, 01:53 AM

Great german engineering here. My car isn't even three years old, and the weatherstrip has begun to leak. The carpet was damp after the last rainstorm we had here. Anyone else experience this?

Yes, same here. I had the right rear door seal replaced and still need to get the passenger front replaced too.

Did you have any problems getting them to fix it?
Do you have any stain / mold problems with your carpet because of it?

I did not have any issues on the rear door seal and I don't think I'll have any trouble with the front one either. They removed the old seal and thoroughly cleaned the surface and then installed a brand new seal around the entire door.

No problems with mold/stains on the carpet.

No, no pics as yet. Not much to photograph really, just looks like a wet carpet.

Car's going in this week. SA mentioned that it could be the sunroof drain as well, so I'll hold off until they've had a chance to look at it.
