Any one else have problems with wet arms and shoulders? My Scout appears to be letting in water around the top of the doors on both passanger and driver side:mad:. Initally i thought it was just excess water on the rubbers seals after I had opened the door in the rain, but I did not have my passanger door open today and came back to the car after work to find a damp seat and door arm rest.

I get this if the door is one click short of properly closed, so either the door isn't closing properly (Which you'll see from the panel alignment) or the seals aren't working right.

Doors are shutting fine, and I have also been very careful to keep the rubber seals clean, so it looks like it is a fault. The difficulty will be proving it to a dealer as it does not always occur. Probably depends how hard or soft the door is shut as to how the rubber seals then align and if water gets under. It could be that it is a 'design feature', but I would expect more people to have responded to this if they were getting the same problem? It seems to me that the design of all the modern Skodas means that water is very much more likley to run off the roof and under the seals than with VW or Audi models.

In a word - No!

I had (for a short while) a Fabis Mk2 that did this, from the sharp corner at the roof/ A pillar meeting. My Scout occasionally "drips" when I open the door.

No problem here so it's probably just a door alignment problem that can be sorted by adjusting the striker plate - eassy to do up/down/in/out but sometimes tricky to work out which way it needs to go to sort the problem (ie in or down or up etc.)

Mine will drip in on the drivers seat when raining. That will teach me for waxing it ......
