Hi bemax. Has this been a good fix now after another couple of weeks. I ask because Amazon just delivered my 4mm air hose and will install on both front doors if you still think a decent fix.
Danke

Re the front door seals, my car was just in for the software update and a few other bits, one of them being the ‘Wet feet’ issue on both sides. Dealer solution was a temporary fix to cut two triangular shaped slits in the outer seal under the doors. He said that replacement seals are on back order which is a tad annoying because I’ll have to take the car back when the new seals are available. It’s a half day job to drive there and back so he must think I’ve got nothing better to do than make multiple trips to get issues resolved.
My dealer also made me drive several times, some months ago twice the same day: was there, wanted to pick up my car, no "tomorrow", went home, and half an hour later called me: "car is ready".
If he doesn't have the replacement seals then he can't fit them.
Glad I don’t live that far away or I’d have got it in writing that he had all of the parts in stock. A half day to take the car in and another half day to collect it means a full day off work. I’m a day rate contractor so taking the car in costs me a lot of money. Also been waiting 4 months for the software update so could have waited another month or two for the seals to be availabl, Or I could have cut the seals myself if I thought that was the Fix. Basically I think he called me in to do the software because that was on his TO-DO list. It’s just less than ideal
Richard, that's exactly my situation. I booked my car in for the software and other bits. I also enquired about any other recalls.Glad I don’t live that far away or I’d have got it in writing that he had all of the parts in stock.

Point 5. is interesting, my dealer didn’t know that there’s a solution
Far out... piss poor design and effort there IA. Definitely a long-term issue but as you said, leaving the trim off or / AM option may be the only fix? Water going 'in' to a vehicle is a shi* outcome and funny that was not picked up in the millions of miles of testing...???
Perhaps worth thinking about the way Ineos have decided to trade in the UK. We buy from Ineos Automotive, we are their customers. Their agents are just that.Glad I don’t live that far away or I’d have got it in writing that he had all of the parts in stock.

Have to say if I experienced the "water fall" I would be very unhappy. Ineos hopefully have fixes for the early adopters ASAP.
Partly. When the gutter doesn't drain (watch it after you pour water in), the only place it can go is over the edge.
tazzieman,Ive been looking at this too. I think quite a lot of the water that fills up the door gap between seals is starting from the gutter, which, when draining, seems to flow tight against the car body from that plastic/rubber corner part on the A pillar.
