mk7 transit door seal

Postby finnon » Wed Jun 28, 2017 8:11 pm

got a problem of water getting past the upper seal on the drivers door. the seal thats attached to the van body.

its misshapen so when the door is closed the seal points downover and when it rains water leaks past it. are these available online? or are they a ford only part? or are they easily removed from a scrap van?

cheers

Easy to remove, they're just pressed on.

I'd try the breakers yard as I'd imagine they'll be expensive from ford.

Mine lets a bit of rain in too, between 90 & 100mph

aye its a high roof van like. what happens is theres a bit of a dip in the van roof. it fills with water when its parked in rain. then when it moves forward all the rain falls off the roof and runs down the front and sides. the door seal thing is flipped the wrong way and kinda stuck. and the water falls through and splashes everywhere :oops: :oops:

I've got a variation of this problem, water appears under the plastic step liner on the driver's side, med roof Mk7. I've changed the top seal - top of door and slope alongside windscreen - no difference. The rim seal clipped all the way round the door frame looks fine. I've checked under the rim seal a few times after rain and it looks, unbelievably, like the water is coming through the seam about half way up the wheel arch. How it does that without driving along in the rain, f knows.

Check the roof gutter, as if it has had a roof rack fitted, this can cause the guttering to split this leak water in down the inner wheel arch..
