Back door leak? Resolved
Been having massive amounts of water seeping through my back door. Previous owner used rolled foam weather stripping but it’s been deteriorating so I ripped it out nd put a more legit gasket. It fits perfectly and so far, no leaks! Got it at Ace Hardware. I’m sure it comes in diff colors but browns actually kind of nice. Cost me $8. See pics: https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...94e794d27.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...8f76bc611.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...a51fa9b05.jpeg |
If you would have asked, one of us could have sent you the correct factory piece.

Didn’t think there was one on the door side. What’s the part? |
There isn't one on the door, correct. I've been thinking about adding a seal like you did, since my door is slightly tweaked, outward, at the top and new inner seal will not fill that gap.

Brian. you can insert a round grey foam sealer between the rubber to make it thicker again from home depot. They come in different diameters. It will be tucked inside the factory weather seal and it is not visible. Cheers |
Various owners have addressed this issue multiple different ways, I just found what worked for me. Cheap quick-fix solution. My upper seal is fine too and I think I also have a tweaked door (only leaks bad in right corner). What helps too is the latch is on a slider, you can unbolt it and move it inward to achieve a tighter fit. |

This is the one I used to reseal the rubber strips. They vary in sizes so you can just insert the foam inside the rubber so it wont be visible from outside.

Good info, Gerry...thank you.

What diameter is the Poly Foam caulk sealer in the pic?
