Hey CB

Read up on sounds like a golf door seal application - I was discussing the seals yesterday

I believe golf door seal application is different on the drivers door to the passenger door. If your instructions don't specify a difference the pic below highlights where the seal is apparently supposed to begin on the drivers door - directly below the bung. I'm gonna adjust mine when I'm off on friday and see how it is.



Others may say different but my passenger door shuts fine yet the drivers needs a firm and noizy slam. Perhaps the seal rubber will bed in over the summer months - I don't know

I have literally only checked box contents, but no instructions appear to have been included. Ordered from Vanstyle in the end, as my brother wanted a few things from them too.

I will do some Google and YouTube searches to see what others have done.

Any threads on here, which you specifically refer to?

Interested in this too, my driver door has always needed a good slam since fitting mine well over a year ago.

After reading folks tales of problems with having to slam doors I decided to source my own 14mm seal instead of buying a kit with the(typically) 16mm seal.

Problems solved, and its less expensive

Took the plunge today and ordered a DigiDash from Everest-VW. Looks relatively easy to install and should really uplift the dash.

I looked at these. Are they literally plug and play?

Not exactly plug and play as you have to strip the old dash apart. They have some good YouTube’s on exactly what’s involved. Youtube

 

[ChestnutBrown]

Looks reasonably straightforward though in fairness. I am intrigued by your install, as might go for this in the future once sorted a few things.

'Reasonably straightforward'?!!!
In what feels at times like a single handed effort to keep the economy afloat, once @antony.charnley has perfected the art of 6.1 installs, I will ask him to do it for me!
Like my headlights and suspension I used a specialist and they are both without fault.
The thought of doing that dash on my own van fills me with dread!

How much are you selling them for @Drive Wayne as my left eye has a cataract and wet macular degeneration and a new eye would save me from further eye injections.

Did they not repair yours? I thought you were winning that battle?

Yes Wayne winning the battle with wet macular degeneration but on a waiting list for cataract removal I’ve had the fitness assessment in early February for removal and on a waiting list now, but still need the eye injections every 2 month and then every 4 month.

Sefton resident's beach parking permit for 2025. At £37.50 (normally £10 per visit) it should pay for itself. Look out for us on Ainsdale beach on sunny days this summer

Well not exactly bought today. In April 2022 I bought some panels and a replacement T5/6 window surround from EVO MOTION DESIGN. Finally got round to fitting it and checking yesterday I realised they had sent me the wrong size, so I popped them an email and they are sending the correct size out now. Superb customer service!

Nothing excited unfortunately. Garage noticed the EGR pipe was split whilst carrying out a service, so a service and EGR pipe replacement for me today
