Driver's door weatherstrip

[WormGod]

Has anyone else experienced this?

Nope. Never. M'kay? Bye.



Usually that happens from a sagging and/or misaligned door. Even just a couple mm can start causing that. Re-align your door if necessary and use a heat gun on the weatherstrip. Since it's a foam rubber, it won't be perfect, but should mold some.

Avoid taping it.... it will most likely tear the stripping when you remove it.

FWIW, the weather stripping in our VXs is VERY cheap and of poor quality. It gets brittle pretty quick and is malleable in a BAD way.

If the adhesive doesn't work, I'll check the alignment. If it's that critical tho, I'll prolly make it worse trying to make it better.

I taped it but I used 'lectrical tape so it came off easy without damage.

It's no worse than what's in other cars I've dealt with.

Thanks.
