### Stop The Whistling
Driving down the motorway and there's that **constant wind whistle** from the door. Or worse, it's raining and water's dripping onto your leg. Door seals deteriorate - rubber cracks, adhesive fails, clips break.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Door seals fail gradually. That quiet whistle at 70mph will be a loud howl within six months. Fix it before it drives you mad.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Diagnosis I check which seal is actually the problem - door seal, window seal, boot seal, or sometimes door alignment. No point replacing seals if the issue is elsewhere. ### Step 2: Seal Removal & Fitting Old seal stripped out (can be stubborn if it's glued). Channel cleaned properly (old adhesive, dirt). New seal fitted into channel - clipped or glued depending on your car's design. ### Step 3: Testing Close door and check seal compression all around. Gentle water test if needed to verify no leaks. Listen for wind noise. Adjust door striker if seal isn't compressing evenly.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **Old car with multiple failing seals?** Sometimes worth doing all doors at once. I'm already there, parts are ordered together, and you solve all the problems in one go. **Boot seal leaking?** That's a separate seal around the boot lid. Same principle - remove old, fit new - but different part. Let me know if you want me to check all seals while I'm there. **Door alignment issues?** If your door doesn't close flush with the body, even new seals won't seal properly. Might need door hinge adjustment or striker repositioning before seal replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions about Door seal repair car in Teignmouth
How do I know if my door seals need replacing?
Wind noise at speed, water leaking in when it rains, higher road noise, or visible cracks/splits in the rubber. Door seal (weatherstrip) degrades over time from UV and temperature changes. If it's perished, it needs replacing.
Can you repair torn door seals or do they need replacing?
Depends on the damage. Small splits sometimes respond to rubber adhesive, but torn or perished sections usually need replacement. Replacing the whole seal is often more effective than patching it.
Do you need the exact seal for my car?
Yes - door seals are vehicle-specific. I need to know your make, model, and year to source the right replacement. Universal seals don't work properly and will leak. I can source parts or fit ones you've bought.
How long does door seal replacement take?
Usually 30-45 minutes per door. Removing old seal, cleaning the channel, fitting new seal correctly. Some cars are fiddly - seals that clip in are quick, glued seals take longer.
Will the new seal stop all wind noise?
If wind noise is from the seal, yes. But sometimes noise is from door alignment, window seals, or body gaps. I'll check what's actually causing the noise before replacing seals unnecessarily.
