door leak: type 89 coupe

[Richard van der Hoff]

I got in my car this morning to discover an inch of water in the driver's
side footwell. Well, I knew the door seals weren't great, but this is
somewhat beyond the pale!

It's my assumption that the first thing to do is to replace the seal, but
since the seal /looks/ ok, and the local Audi dealership has just quoted
me 150 quid for a new seal, I thought I'd ask who else has experienced
this one - it must be a fairly common problem! This is the type 89 coupe,
with the frameless windows.

I'm tempted to tweak the hinges a bit to get the door a bit tighter
against the frame, and see if that helps at all.

Thanks,

Richard
