Hi guys
I've changed the door seals on my mini as the other ones were past it.
The drivers side is ok although the indent between the two pieces of rubber fills with water. Should this happen?
My other problem is that the passenger side is letting in water at the top corner (front end of the door) as the seal isn't compressed/not making contact with the door. Is there bigger seals available as I don't want to bend the frame encase I crack the paint. Any other fixes are welcomed :)
Thanks

Have a look at how the door sits in the cut out. It may need to be adjusted slightly.

Do you mean at the hinges or at the latch?
Thanks for your reply

I mean the hinges. If the door is sitting below flush on the A panel or out at the bottom or in at the top then you can do some adjustment with the hinges where they go through the A post. You may need to slot the holes slightly to get the adjustment you may need .

Can you post some pictures of the door closed especially of the the top and the bottom at an angle looking forward.

Water sattles at the bottom front of mine. Or it used to, only a bit. So I cut a small section of the outer rubber to let the water flow out, and not into the car. My doors need adjusting but this was my quick alternative for now.
