Door window has gap on new seals

Post by mmmmm0fffffffff »

Hello,

First time posting here, how exciting — thanks everyone for all the content you wrote until now, it has been so useful to me, and I hope what I'll be posting is going to help other T3 owners.

I've lots of wind coming from the cabin windows (both passenger and driver) though all the seals are new (full kit), and the wind comes I believe from quite of a gap that there is between the window and the rails where the window sits when closed. Did this happen to others? How would you consider to fix it — double sealing it? Or are there cheaper techniques as I've already bought a full kit of seal hoping that it would fix my wind problems?!

Thanks a lot for the infos :)

To be fair I thought the OP was a spammer, but seems not to be.
