Hi All,
I've noticed that the door seals are not as efective as they were last winter - got a bit of a breeze coming in on most doors and when the waggon was being cleaned recenly water from a pressure hose came in and drenched my passanger! (just as wel the heaters are good!) So - how can I re-seal the doors seals Do I need to replace them or is it a case of adjustmnet some how... I cant belive the the seals have worn out as the waggon is just 3 yrs old. any thoughts?

Wyvern,
My rear door seal suffered the same. I used a silicone grease and wiped over the seal, it revives the seal and allows it to become soft/supple again. A pressure washer will always allow water past the seal if directly applied as they are not resilient enough Worth a try with the silicone grease though!  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

My 110 rear door seals are terrible. The 110 is only 6 months old. The front door seals are sound.

HI K9,
Many thanks for the tip - will try the silicone when I get home and see what happens this is one of a long line of 110's that we've had and the only one where the water comes in from a pressure washer so easily .. so a bit of a shock!
