Door rubber edging

[Jcerb]

Hi all, I have a leak at the drivers side sill, the water gets to the carpet adjacent to the edging. The water doesn't seem to be coming down the inside of the door through the membrane. Any ideas of using a slightly thicker edging strip? Cheers.

Does the door drop when you open it? If so the front edge may not be making a sufficient seal due to the hinges not being positioned ideally and water may be seeping down there.

No drop at all, and closes very nicely. I poured a bottle of water all over it and didn't leak. I guess a hose or driving rain is enough. I was thinking of using a slightly larger seal or different section...?

Woolies trim have loads of different sections of trim rubbers. Let us know if you find one that works, mine has a leak from a seal, charger cable through the window has deformed it

Thanks

I replaced all my door seals ...loads of places stock,nothing fancy just standard seal ....cut it nice and neat at door center and super glue it together and looks better than factory 👍

I'd affix a strip of draught excluder (one-side sticky) to the area you feel is leaking air to test whether it is indeed the seal. Can easily be removed after testing.

I tried replacing mine with a slightly thicker seal ( had some knocking about ) as mine was damaged, this has made the door difficult to shut, even with the striker adjusted. I will be replacing it with the original type, looks like Woolies stock it.

Are you sure it's coming in through the door seal rather than the floor?

[Jcerb]

Well it better not be coming from the floor after just having it replaced! It gets a little pool of water sitting on the rubber.
