Apologies to those of you who are also .net members as I've already posted this message over there but I'm still looking for some words of wisdom.
I'm talking about the external rubber seal at the base of the window and top of the metal door panel. Not the door aperture seal at the very top of the window.
I have some nasty leaks, particularly round the pillar of the quarter light. I've googled expecting it to be a common problem but I can only find anything on the top of the door - I'm okay there. There was a small leak originally. Then I removed the seals to service the windows and it got much worse.
I know about tamping it down with a piece of wood and hammer but it didn't help.
Do I just need to keep re-seating it until I strike lucky? Do I need a new one (ouch)? Do I need to use some sealant? Is there another trick I'm missing?
Really keen to sort this out. The door trims can't go back until it's sorted and I'm fed up with looking at bare metal inside...
