AW: [DML] Re: door seal

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

Gerhard,

this problem is common though I never had to deal with it on my own car.

I know some guys who tried to get the rubber "used" to the position and
they always used a piece of cloth to close the door. The cloth was
positioned on the seal where it touches the door. Now they closed the
door and pulled the cloth out again. This pulled the seal so its regular
position.
But to be honest - I've seen him doing this for over a year now...

My suggestion would be to bend it into place with a hair dryer.

What about you guys out there ? I know this is a common problem.
How did you solve it ?

Thank you Elvis, this is exactly the problem I have. Even the old
seal was damaged in this corner. But how can I fix the problem? Is it
a general problem or a problem of door adjustment or the seal itself?
