Carpet and door seal trim January 23, 2026, 03:36:43 PM Usual problem of swimming pool in the footwell. Not the usual door card problem but it looks af if the door aperture seal has finally given up. Came to replace it and there is a plastic trim, with one screw, that covers the seal and carpet at the bottom of the door aperture. Removed the screw and the trim appears fixed. Not wanting to force it, I looked up the parts lists diagrams but could not find this part on any of them. Just wondered if there is a knack to there removal or is it just brute force and ignorance?

Re: Carpet and door seal trim Reply #5 – January 28, 2026, 06:47:24 PM I have a feeling the water ingress was caused by a pressure washer when my better half took the car for a wash as the door cards were all fine. A couple of warmer and drier days required now to get the job done.
