Removing door seals

[Snoopy]

Let me know if they find out what the clunk is ad I have always thought mine had one

[mkviken]

had the creaking groaning door crap with my car when it was new. always seemed to be drivers side while going round tight roundabouts etc

i pflege stift'd my car and white lithe greased all the hinges and locks and to be honest its been fine since

that pflege stift stuff makes a right smarmy mess on the paint and glass though




something i have noticed (and pointed out to snoopy) is that ALL golf 5door middle door seals (attached to rear door - front door seals onto it) rub against the front drivers door and it eventually splits the rubber seal. I'm just waiting for mine to be totally split and i will get it replace on the warranty.

every golf mk6 I've seen has this problem, its a poor design.



also why the hell does it take hours/days for the water to drain out of the doors after you wash the car? is a nightmare. the window and door seals on these things a PITA





regarding removing the seals and your concerns about whats involved i wouldn't worry. they just pull out so don't worry they won't be ripping your car apart!

Cool! thanks for that.
The R i drove on saturday had creaking seals too, not quite to the extremes of mine but that would support what you say, shame.
