Picked up some new window seals from VW last week. My driver side ones had a few marks on that always bugged me.





So set about taking the door skins off, sounds a more scary job than it is. Just make sure you mark where all screws go as different lengths etc.



Passengers rear off, 30torq all around the edge, then remove handle with 20torq. Door skin off!



So I remembered which screw went where 


New rubber:



Both rubbers were held in with 6 little plastic clips, pull the centre pin out then they pop off, fitting is same just reverse.









Gave panel quick clean whilst skin was off 



New trim on and all fitted back up together:



Front was same as the rear:



Job done! Then had cuppa and gave car quick wash




Nice to get them ticked off the list

One of my LED sidelights went this week.

So tried these Xenon look 3500K bulbs from Halfords, initial impression is very good.
