Rear door dust problems.

Post by Getalbo »

I have serious dust problems on the left rear door on my 2006 GRX. Only 60K on the clock. Any ideas?

Where does the dust come in.... from the bottom, the side or from the top?

Welkomen :blonde: I had the same problem on my GQ now I only drive on tar and problem is solved :rolling:

No seriously me thinks the door is not aligning properly and the rubber is then not sealing as supposed to

Thanks guys, I will post some pics of the offending area (top lefthand ) and the vehicle. Alignment could be a problem. The seals seem fine and should be considering the age and mileage of the vehicle. I assume the agents should be best qualified to sort out any alignment issues?

I have very little faith in the agents, and suspect that a good panelbeater will probably ba e better bet?

:doh: My back doors also let dust in, but they were ratling and drove around the bend. Some weeks ago I took the spanners and started adjusting the locks on the doors and wow the rattles stoped, not sure about the dust as I have not done dust yet. So yes one can adjust the doors at the back as they do tend to sag due to the wheel on the door
