Weatherseal

[studley07]

Hey. The weatherseal leaks on the drivers side on my B3 Quattro coupe. When it rains there is a well in the drivers foot well. Audi claim this is a discontinued part and yet it's on the Audi tradition site but the Audi tradition site won't sell to anyone even though I had an account but after COVID it's all gone mad. Any one got a driver's side weatherseal they would like to sell. It's coming in from where the wing meets the door it's running down the seal and following it around and coming in on the sill. Thanks

I think you have to be in the EU to order from tradition now. I think some people are doing reshipping from the EU for parts so they can be ordered from tradition.

Oh well that's pooh. Thanks for reply tho

There’s a guy on s2forum Facebook page that helps us UK people out with shipping and he’s excellent am sorry I don’t have a name but have a look or ask. It’s bloody annoying AT doesn’t see the UK as a customer base.

I have a few brand new ones of these still in their bags, however I don't know which ones I've got, there are part No's on the bags so I'll dig them out and check later. I have a suspicion a couple of them are for Cabriolets.

Hi mate
Just a thought 'cos I've had this on mine. Try a strip of black electrical tape along the edge of the roof to cover the join between the black trim and the main roof panel. See if it helps.
What can happen is, when the windscreen is replaced they have to lift this trim and it doesn't seal properly when it goes back down. So water wicks under the seam, gets into the trim and reappears in the corner at the front of the door, it drips onto the black plastic sill cover and runs down into the footwell.
I resealed one side by drilling out the rivets (which weren't all there or the right type) and using some thin foam gasket to seal it before replacing with the correct rivets.
As a short term fix (couple of years for me lol) you can tape the roof as above and also stick a strip of approx 5-6mm x 10mm foam gasket to catch the drops and direct them past the door seal so they drip on the outer sill.
This maybe your main problem, if the door rubber is tired though a new one will help.

And also check if you door hinge has worn and your door dropped slightly. If you can lift the door a few mm when open, it's worn
