Bottom of door seal. 

How do you get these off- do you just pull the clips off the bottom - can you do it with the doorcard still on ?

Cheers.

Double sided sticky membrane. 
Got this in 2012 by the looks of it. It’s like a super sticky membrane that is really useful for things like rubber bits as in the door jar and hatch 

You can still buy those door hinge seals new - same as a MK2 golf and can buy from VAG. Also came on some Audi, they come flat but when you shut the door it presses them.

You dont need to remove the door cards they are at the very bottom of the door. Remove the clips, but they also have an adhesive tape on the back. 👍 which I'm guessing Shaun has used his posh tape on

Cheers for that but a bit too late. The door is officially finished, bar the card.

There are 5 clip things and double sided adhesive as Cressa says. Beware the clips are fragile as is everything. They pop over a mushroom thing to secure. 
Used normal black foamed double sided tape to refit, about the same thickness as I took off the seals

Thanks for the replys

Sure if you look at the yellow tape on the back looks same a Shaun. I actually have a nos bottom door seal one to put on - can still buy the press studs = its odd on etka the seal ending with 13 is for left but the right one is just blank with no part number- are they the same seal for both sides.  

Update left ends with 13 and right 14 - both obsolete as a dodo.

Definitely not the same seal, they are handed. There are two mushrooms for clips close together at the front of the  door. I saved money and cleaned mine up with Gumi Pflege, after all they are under the door.

My drivers one the bottom part of the seal has spit an inch or two from the end - same with the left- Im going to fit the new one to passenger side and check out my spare doors in the shed if the drivers door has a good used one. I think they play quiet an important job as they stop water coming in and sitting on the internal sills- your decals look good- have some to put on myself- going to let the paint cure for 30 days and let the gases escape from the paint before sealing it with the sill protective trim as premature fitting before gases escape can cause bubbling.

You do right waiting a while, it can’t hurt, I’ve done the same. The paint was still a bit “soft” after a couple of weeks, that’s why I held off for a bit

Good practice for sure- I have actually had bubbling before through premature decal application so leant the hard way.

How far on with the car are you Shaun?

Got both doors and roof all put back together and started on the front end. Then got busy at work and had a few weeks off the car, I think I’m dreading the glass installation shenanigans and have come to a stop while my enthusiasm builds again. Weather isn’t helping to get me going either, not like it’s driving weather or that you are allowed to far or anywhere anyway. 

[1xshaunx1 27]

Finally got some mojo and put my front end together and I had a look at my wiring issues which involved messing with the rats nest,  the ABS plugs and

[1xshaunx1 27]

Unexpectedly total success. First time the ABS light is working properly in my ownership and it’s the first time I’ve seen the fuse box back in position since I bought the car

excellent!  Nice accelerator pedal there - looks like it fits nicely

Cheers Hasan, Yes it does fit well. off eBay T4 I think

[1xshaunx1 27]

Had the glass put in yesterday. It appears I had good reason to be worried about the front screen going in. Didn’t really look at it when they’d done as it was covered in tape and I needed a break from the ordeal. 
So just getting my self mentally ready to go and take the tape off and have a good look at the final results. 

[Cressa 43]

🤞🤞I'm sure it will be great 

[ABV-VR6 12]

Good luck with the big reveal and keep us posted mate! 

[Keyo 47]

Pull the tape  😄!

[Cressa 43]

Cmon you 3, post up on the newbies return 😂😂

And pics please shaun

[1xshaunx1 27]

Unfortunately it wasn’t the best result. The front screen wants doing again, but not now I’m going to carry on putting it together have a summer and get it sorted in the winter.The rest of the glass looks ace.  I just want my car back now. 
Tried fitting the dab arial I got off eBay it doesn’t. It wants to sit too high, I may have to dremel something. I did get my rain tray in and washer jets mounted in it so they spray from under the bonnet. More time also went on some unhealthy looking wiring attached to the headlight switch loom which plugs in the fuse box next to the wiper motor loom, guess how I know that.

But finally I think I’m ready to put the new bloody carpet in which probably won’t fit and drive me to distraction as much as the rest of it. 

[1xshaunx1 27]

Has anybody else tried one of these. It seems to have sticky out bits that stop it sitting flush with the roof.

Can the silver part be turned the other way?

Found this picture of my Hirschmann aerial. Doesnt seem to have them when zoomed in !!
