Title: Build Quality
Post by: Eric on 29 July 2006, 14:06

Hi Guys,

05 GTi, 19,000 km and this morning I noticed the rubber moulding on bottom of passengers door decided to come apart from the door frame.On a quick examination,I was not at home,it appears just to be stuck with some form of glue.Has anybody else had the same problem.Should I fix it myself or throw it back to a main dealer with a look of disgust and insist he sorts out.

I also hear the wind noise sometimes in drivers door and the wiper has a mind of its own but I know these issues are a common cause of discussion on the board.

Would appreciate advice on the moulding problem.

Regards,

Eric.

send it back to the dealer to be sorted mate.  I remember Test Drive magazine ran a MKV for 12 months or so and had no end of problems with the door seal coming off.  each time it went back to the dealer though!!

are there any pictures of what this door seal looks like? and how it comes apart? doesn't sound good.
