Hello all.  The front and rear window aperture seals on our 2014 Octavia combi have started to bend upwards where they meet at the B-pillar meaning water is getting in through the holes.  Here's the diagram and part in question (for the front door at least) https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2014-753/8/837-837060/#3

 

I've tried bending them down and taping them to see if it would hold but they simply bend back upwards again after a few days.  I could try and buy replacements but not sure how to remove the old ones without damaging the paintwork / door itself so does anyone have any ideas please?

 

Thanks in advance

By design the inside of the door is a wet area. There are drain holes at the bottom of the door. Replacing the aperture seals are a cosmetic issue and will not stop water getting into the door cavity.

Thanks Krisp1, that's at least one thing I don't need to worry about then 🙂.  Now I just need to access some experience in removing and installing them.

Cheers
