Detached Rubber Door Seal

Detached Rubber Door Seal

Gave my Evoque some loving care and cleaned it.

Horrified to discover the rubber door seals hanging off. There is a rubber door seal glued onto the periphery of the door. The join is at the bottom of the door. On 2 of my doors one end had become detached and hanging down. In particular the offside (right hand side as in UK) front about 100mm and offside rear about 200mm. The rear one had no glue on it and I could not re attach although just enough glue left for the front to hold. But no way to get the ends to stay together so small gap and obviously a break in the seal.

My dealer is going to replace the seals, no issue. Maintains not seen this before. Although they went on to say the new ones have got stronger glue, so could this be the first time they have seen it or was the statement for my benefit.

Hope mine is a one off.

Has not detracted from the pleasure I get from driving though.

Not heard of it here before either, be interesting to see if there are any others getting this issue, A picture if you could would speak a 1000 words so others can check thiers.

RE: Detached Rubber Door Seal

Not a one-off problem at all. I noticed it this past weekend on a road trip with my wife. We drove for a bit with the music off (for a change) and she heard a "funny sound" in the right door. Turns out it is the same door seal issue you've mentioned. It has peeled away on one side at the bottom. I pushed it back on, but also added it to a small list of minor issues I'll have fixed next week. Normally I'd be inclined to fix it myself with some good contact cement specifically made for seals, but there is a gap between the ends, as mentioned, and I'll let LR make it right.
Picked mine up July 13th, have 3200 miles already, and love it despite the minor stuff. Cool

Detached Rubber Door Seal

I don't know if we're speaking about the same thing but I had an issue with a door seal on the right hand side as well. It's the black finishing around the door opening on the inside of the car. It started to detach. I brought it to the dealer and they diagnosed it as a fabrication error and ordered a new one straight away and replaced it under warranty.

Why would this be interesting to you? Because the dealer said they had the exact same problem with some of their showroom cars so they ordered a larger amount of them to replace those as well. So it seems mine was not a standalone issue.

RE: Detached Rubber Door Seal

I can't remember who but I'm sure I read about door seal issues as one of the first issues reported so I'd be surprised if most dealers hadn't seen this

RE: Detached Rubber Door Seal

Mine came detached on one side when I picked her up. Dealer cleaned it, and reapplied glue, haven't had problem since
