Door Seal Gutter Thingy

Post by scrumpyone »

Both my number 14's in the pic below literally dropped off in the heat on Monday.

What can I expect when it rains (prob tonight)? Got a nasty vibe.

i'm probably wrong but i thought they were more to stop wind noise?

I took mine off then lost them, typical! I had them off for a while and it didn't cause any water ingress issues but it was rather loud when driving. I put some d shaped self adhesive door seal type things in its place in the end which do the job but aren't pretty.

Mine broke when I removed them and left them in a stupid place, No noticeable difference in my opinion.
