You need to smoke more fags and drink more beer

I do, but the crap door seals mean it all escapes from the van especially when my beer falls out of the holder in the dash :lol:

16mm x 16mm VW California door seal.

:D

It makes a heck of a difference / improvement I must say. Not just to the door shut but to the sound quality of the stereo speakers too.



Thanks... ordered.

Worth a go for 20 quid....it’s on offer too so I can put the saving towards some more beer.


If it’s good I will try the twin sliders too.

Better late than never...

Finally got around to fitting my extra door seals – only had them sitting in a box since October... Easy job, £20 or so for the bits, and has made a nice difference to the ‘clunk’ when the doors get closed. I’ve not driven many miles since and TBH I can’t tell much of a difference, if any, in refinement. I’ve got too much shite under the rear seat that vibrates against the bulkhead to sort out before I could say for sure. End of the day, it’s still a van…

Hi, I've got a tourneo custom and really like the sound of this. Would I also be able to fit it to the sliding doors, without removing them as I am not that skilled! Thanks

I haven't fitted extra seals to my bus sliders but I have fitted an extra carpet and that made a lot of difference.

I bought one of these tailored mat sets for mine and it made the bus quieter on the road.

Thank you, we have the rubber mats that it came with but wanted a set of carpet mats!
