WelshAde Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Anyone had their door seals peeling off? the rubbers on mine have started too peel, nothing to do with the recent bad weather as it started before the frost etc, noticed beginning of december and reported it too the dealer, waiting on a fix, i could repair it with some double sided tape but why should i on a brand new car.

I know the bit you are talking about - down the edge of the door. It is just glued on. Take it into Ford and you run the risk of them making a mess of it. Just use a spot or two of CA (Superglue) and it's sorted. If you think thats bad, just ask Focus owners about their windscreen seals that fall out at the top of the window ! Fix for that is Glue too ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your car quite an early one (assuming its a Mk7) Ford made a slight design change in mid to late 2009 to add some extra clips to hold the seal in place - might be worth asking if they can retro fit those clips to solve the problem on your car.

FMC Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 No problems on my ZS so far, but I was one of the unlucky facelift Focus ST owners with the pop out windscreen seal I never bothered to get it fixed, just kept pushing it back in! It was OK as long as you didn't go above 110 (apparently :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisZetecS Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I noticed my driver side windscreen seal was popped out slightly the other day, going to mention it tommorow when my car goes in for it's service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy09 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I've had it happen to the driver side, been meaning to take it in but it's a minor thing so it's down the list at bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshAde Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 I had new seals fitted at the dealers yeaterday, they took the old ones off and fitted brand new ones which i watched them do, the door closed much better, sounded better if you know what i mean, got up today and went ot the post office, opened my driver door and the seal has peeled off again!!! dealership here i come lol... i feel a bit of a div going over though as its only a glue job but like i said these seals were brand new on yesterday.

Flic Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 My drivers side seal was peeling off a bit. I got mine stuck back on at it's 3 month service, been fine ever since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshAde Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 they are well and truly stuck back on now, they rekon its because of the recent cold weather the glue didnt stick properly, so when it went in yesterday the older mechanic did the job, the guy with 30+years of experience, he used a hot air gun and took about an hour to do it and they are not going to coem off now, the glue has really bonded now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
