Coupe door seals

[josh_28]

Potentially venturing back into S2’s and picking up a coupe on weekend and will be after door seals if anyone has some as it’s like a collinder on drivers side...
and from what I’ve read tonight it seems several hundred ££ with Audi tradition is only option if they have them in stock..

door seals are one of only a number of ways water gets into the coupe. Unless you can physically see damage which compromises the seal, i would check the other things first as it could save you getting hold of some seals. :-)

bulkhead grommets.
sunroof drain channels.
cracks in seam sealer in scuttle panel in fuse box area.
Window mechanism / glass alignment
Bad previous front screen installation
Leak between extrusion that holds the door seal into the body. Often hand in hand with front screen job as it has to be unfixed alogn the A pillar and that disturbs the seal and that is assuming it gets riveted back in properly...

It’s definitely leaking elsewhere too but this seal has been damaged with attempted temporary repair where the windows shuts agains the seal

[steve briance]

fair enough.

the seals do have a bad reputation but I've fixed so many leaks on mine and i don't think any of them were actually due to the seal!

[josh_28]

One leak I know is grommet in scuttle, then possibly the corner of door

There’s a good thread about coupe leaks on here
Steve’s list is a good starting point!
