Hi

Just having a blonde moment, i noticed yesterday that on the inside of the car door there the window and roof meet there is a gap appearing (might have always been there) but just noticed. Its in the strip that lines the inside of the door.

Its almost the same on both doors so i dont know if this gap is supposed to be there or if its developed.

Anyone got the foggiest what i am talking about??

(going to try and take some photos tomorrow).

Hi Cam,

The second photo of the roof shows a significant misalignment of the roof segments - I suspect this is the cause of your problem as the roof is being forced into alignment by the body trim as the roof closes.

A visit to the dealer is in order for realignment however this will probably be seen as an adjustment rather than a warranty item and will be at your expense - if the dealer is kind, they may do it as a customer goodwill job.

Good luck David

When the roof closes, do the pins look like they hit the holes pretty dead on? If they do, then the inside of the seals were just fitted badly...

If it is out and the cup shape draws the pins into the holes, then an adjustment might be necessary, but to be honest, this is unlikely.

It's more likely to be a cosmetic seal problem.

thanks guys just taken in to VW and there going to fix as per waranty might be cosmetic but they think its a mis alighnment as this has only happened in last couple of weeks since i have had the roof up and down a few times.

As far as i can see it the roof closes dead on ....

Will wait and see.

Although they were only able to sort me out a golf
