Restoring door seals?

Rico · 19 Apr 2007 at 07:55

Hey all,
The door seals on my TT are starting to age a little. I was wondering if there are any products out there that can be used to clean them up and put a bit of life back into them?

Cheers
Rich

Buy new ones? Can't imagine they'd be much.

you can get a can of silicone lubricant for couple of quid from halfords

If the seals are becoming sticky and leaving marks on the door frame, then talcum powder can help.

If they are starting to become brittle and cracked, then they need replacing.

not cracked, just dry and slightly grey looking. I would imagine some sort of moisturiser would sort it, however i have bought some of the restorer as mentioned above.

Door seals for an audi TT will be very expensive i can assure you.

What about door seals that have "moved" from their position and aren't sealing properly, how do you deal with those? :/
