Rubber Door Seals - Viva HB

Postby stevecarrod » Thu Sep 24, 2015 11:10 am

Does anyone know where I might be able to procure the following:

> Rubber door seals
> Protective covering for the door hinges

I have some water coming into the driver-side foot well when it rains and I've come to the conclusion that it runs off the chrome covered roof gutter and then drops directly into the gap between the front wing and the door before making its way in through the various other gaps that exist around the door fixings.

I think fixing the above items will solve this issue but if anyone has had a similar problem and solved another way I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks

Woolies trim will, probably, have something compatible.

Worth a ring, very helpful.

More likely and favorite would be the front screen seal leaking, lay down inside the car and check for leakage while someone sprays the screen and A piller area, it wont be long before it trickles in.

Water also comes in through the door hinges welded to the pillar. The sealant becomes loose etc so try re-sealing.

Yep - seems to be coming in from both the door hinges and the corner of the screen. Hinges are easy enough to handle but I think the rubber seals will need replacing. I just need to find someone who can supply and fit...

Thanks for the advice
