Rear door leaking

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

First topic on here. :notme:

Thought I had sealed the n/s rear door panel using some foil backed VERY sticky mastic about 40mm wide, yes THOUGHT I had !!!!!!

 

Got into it this evening after work, door cards propped open, scraped out as much of the cr*p foam seal with a bent cheap screwdriver.

 

Wash the join with some IPA, dried off, then applied copious amounts (into the void where the seal used to be) of NAIL AND SEAL by EVOSTIK,

can be used in damp or even wet conditions,

covered the rest of the apertures where things fasten from the inside, fitted new clips, greased around and into the clip holes,

belted the panel back on, now we will see if the blighter still leaks!!

 

This leaking is apparent on both mine (56) and daughters (04) VRS's :devil:

 

Will post one way or the other after it rains........... :rain: .

A couple of self tapping screws usually helps pull it in tighter too.
