Failing door seals

Featured Replies

I have a 2020 Fabia Monte Carlo estate with 22k on the clock. The driver side door seal which is made of rather weak rubber foam has  split in a couple of places where I might rub against it with my shoulder and foot as I get in.  Has anyone had this replaced by the Skoda dealer under warranty as it is too weak for purpose or  alternatively paid for the replacement, and if so at what cost. 
I’ve noticed this has been an problem reported by with several owners in a previous post and there appears to be a quality issue with the seal

Thanks

I bumped a thread for you.

 

I think a warranty claim is unlikely to be accepted on a 4 year old car with a wear and tear item.

But you can always ask at an Authorised Repairer...

I doubt it, its purpose is to seal the door and not resist rubbing from the driver exiting the vehicle.

 

Do you by any chance share the driving with your partner? With the seat in the correct position for the height of the driver you would not normally rub against the door seal and certainly not in both places, when my (now ex) UK neighbour asked me to drive or move his car I would brain myself every time on the A pillar, his wife is a PORG with the equivalent of Short Man Syndrome so he has to push the seal all the way forward and raise it fully whenever he gets out of the vehicle even during a trip to the shops when he will be driving there and back!
