Some time back I asked a bunch of questions about the cheaper/German door seals. OK, I went the cheaper aftermarket route. A real mistake in my opinion. This winter I will take them out and bite the bullet and get the real German replacements. To me, the aftermarket ones I got from Bus Depot (nothing against them) were of no use at all. I replaced the slider, the back cargo, and the engine hood seals with the higher priced German seals and no problems whatsoever, yet the cheaper door seals have failed my least expectations. I like to think I put them in as best as could be. Followed all the rules and used the best adhesive.
Yet they don't conform to the door void and worse, seem to tear themselves up as they are used. I dought I've opened either door a hundred times yet the seals are rather shreaded. To be fair though, the seals as they are don't really leak right now, just look shabby.
Well that's my take anyway
