front door issue

[jeehi]

Those who have had the front door mod done to the rubber and chrome trim, has it held or have you had to take it back?

 

Mine has just pulled the rear trim off again and the rubber is damaged.

Mine was redone a few weeks ago however there was no damage to the rubber itself.

Had mine done a few months back and yesterday it started again. It’s going to be a long 18 months taking it back every few weeks to get it fixed.

When did you have it done?

Mine was repaired early 2016 before it had become a Service Campaign. The rubber seals and chrome trim was replaced on both doors and I've had no problem since then.

It went in for the 2 year service in August and it was flagged for the door trim so I queried it. It turned out to be an additional Service Campaign that also covered cars already "fixed" because, it seems, there were too many bodged repairs. I don't know the full extent of the new Service Campaign but I was informed that part of the update was to remove the chrome strips and re-secure them using glue pads supplied by Škoda.

I think mine was done just before the campaign. It looks like black mastic has been used and just let go, drivers side worse than passenger side. I did query the state of the fix at the time as the trim didn't line up with the rear door (looked like it had pushed out).

 

Maybe I have had a bodged repair!

I fixed this on my car 18 months ago. A tiny dot of clear silicone behind the metal trim before pushing it back in position and it hasn't moved since.

Easy and much quicker than taking it back to the dealer.

THere is an overlap so all that happens is the glue gives way the rear door chrome trim ends up pulling off every time you open the door. Really poor from Skoda.

Had mine done earlier this year and again in August but I think it’s starting to catch again as I feel it when I open the door after driving.
