Advice - rear doors rubbing paintwork

[david25]

Hello, can anyone tell me if there is an official fix for the rear doors rubbing the paintwork?



I found a few links to American forums but no official recall / TPI

Thanks

I've got something similar on mine, rear doors only, both sides but not quite as bad as yours. I can't see anything that's causing it, can't feel anything when I close them and the gaps all round the doors look spot on so don't think it's a case of them not aligned  orrectly, strange really.

Same on my more door, just looks like dirt on the rubber, and it's slowly wearing away the paint.

Have a look at my build thread about half way down this page. I was suffering the same issue and gut some precut film from VW.

Cheers matto. It's a bit late for the n/s  but should be good for the o/s.

No worries mate. Thats a shame. Fortunately I managed to catch mine before it had rubbed through the paint.
