Introduction: Toyota AYGO, Peugeot 107 & Citroen C1 Rear Door Sealing Guide

Symptoms of fault

Water leaking in to the boot and footwells. Wet carpets and mats. Rattling / whistling noises, excess wind and road noise. Rattling sounds from doors and tinny sound when closing doors.

The fault

It is a very common fault for leaks to occur on these vehicles, with water entering and pooling in the boot and footwells. The door seals on these vehicles are poorly designed from the outset and get worse with age. These seals both on the tailgate and doors sit deep within the mating surfaces of the doors and body of the vehicle. This means a large volume of water can pool above the seals. This overwhelms the seals, entering the back of the seals and causes these leaks. As the OEM seals sits so far from the outer edge of the doors this means the outer edges of the doors close directly on the metal of the vehicles body creating a tinny metallic sound when closing the doors.

The solution

Our seals sit closer to the edge of the mating surfaces of the doors, preventing the main door seals from being overwhelmed and leaking. Unique in design our seals fasten to the outer edge of the vehicles body where the doors close.

Our seals are extremely easy to fit, just peel off the 3M sticky tape on the reverse and fit in the positions shown in our video and pictorial instructions. The seals close up the gap between the body and the door stopping water pooling on the main door seal, preventing leaks. Also included is a replacement boot seal, this is a direct replacement for the OEM part, this slots in to place as per the original, our seal is improved with a larger diameter to prevent leaks in to the boot. Alongside this we also supply an additional top seal which works in the same way as our door seals, providing an external seal, preventing pooling of water within the tailgate.

Our seals are a direct fit and can be fitted in under 20 minutes. Our seals are cut to size ready to fit, we also include 2x alcohol wipes to clean the vehicles body prior to fitting our seals.

Step 1: Clean Rear Frames

Using one of our alcohol wipes per door clean up the outside edge of the door recess, remove all grime / grease to ensure good adhesion of our seal.

Step 2: Fit the Door Seals

Peel back the adhesive backing paper and fit our seal in the position shown. As you work around the recess push the seal firmly in to position. If fitting in cold conditions a hot air gun can be used to make the seal more flexible.

If the seal provided is too long (doors vary slightly by model) cut down to length with a pair of scissors so that the seal finishes at the location shown.

Step 3: Close Doors Firmly

Close the rear doors firmly a few times, the seals may seem firm but once they doors are closed on a few occasions the seals will start to bed in.
