SYMPTOMS OF FAULT

Water leaking through the top of the tailgate, damp boot carpet, puddles of water in the boot and footwells. Wet carpets and mats. Rattling / whistling noises, excess wind and road noise. Rattling sounds from doors and tinny sound when closing doors.

THE FAULT

It is a very common fault for leaks to occur on these vehicles, with water entering and pooling in the boot and footwells.

The door seals on these vehicles are poorly designed from the outset and get worse with age. These seals both on the tailgate and doors sit deep within the mating surfaces of the doors and body of the vehicle. This means a large volume of water can pool above the seals. This overwhelms the seals, entering the back of the seals and causes these leaks. As the OEM seals sits so far from the outer edge of the doors this means the outer edges of the doors close directly on the metal of the vehicles body creating a tinny metallic sound when closing the doors.

The foam gasket that the third brake light & tail lights comes attached to from factory disintegrates over time due to its poor structure. This allows water to enter through the gasket and into the boot, causing puddles of water on the boot floor.

THE SOLUTION

new high level brake light seal

We have designed & manufactured new & improved seals to cover every aspect of these vehicles, to prevent any further leaks from occuring.

Our improved boot seal is unique in design, this is a direct replacement for the OEM part, this slots in to place as per the original, our seal is improved with a larger diameter to prevent leaks in to the boot.

Our additional door seals fasten to the outer edge of the vehicles body where the doors close. Our seals are extremely easy to fit, just peel off the 3M sticky tape on the reverse and fit in the positions shown in our video and pictorial instructions. The seals close up the gap between the body and the door stopping water pooling on the main door seal, preventing leaks. Alongside this we also supply an additional top seal for the tailgate which works in the same way as our door seals, providing an external seal, preventing pooling of water within the tailgate.

Our seals are a direct fit and can be fitted in under 20 minutes. Our seals are ]ready to fit, we also include 5x alcohol wipes to clean the vehicles body prior to fitting our seals.

Our improved tail light and brake light seals are UK designed and made. Precision cut to fit mating faces, stopping water, moisture & condensation entering the light unit and vehicle itself. UV resistant material.

Our seals have a strong adhesive backing so it maintains location when being fitted, beware of items without this. This fix requires minimal tools and is easy to fit.

We include an improved size and material (Viton Oring) to replace the original on the washer jet part of the light as this commonly fails and causes leaks.

We also provide RTV gasket sealant with this kit to aid the sealing of the O-ring and to create a seal on the screw threads at this is another common area to leak.

The most comprehensive solution to this extremely common fault.
