Ford : Drivers door seal peeling off - 7th Nov 2013 10:20am
When I got my car the drivers door seal was peeling off, Fords fixed this with some kind of glue.
Now 3 months later its off again and is letting water into my car and causing windows to steam up due to the damp, also passenger door is now starting to peel away.
I today went in to Village motors in Wallasey to get it repaired under warranty, it was booked in for Thursday morning the 7th November.
However Village motors phoned me at 4pm and said they can not fix it under warranty as that part is only a 12 month warranty.
They did tell me Fords have issued a bulletin TSB 59/2008 stating the original glue they used in the factory was not up to the job and is useless, and Fords have issued and started using a new glue for the door seals in the factory.
And If I want it fixing I have to pay.
So Fords admit the glue they used in factory is not up to the job, but if seal fails they wipe there hands of it, and make customer pay.
I will give Fords 1 last chance to replace the door seals, as they can not fix them due to the mess they made when fixing it when I 1st got my car.
I have emailed the C.E.O Mark Ovenden. I await his response.
I would like to see Technical Service Bulletin 59/2008 if any one has it, or can get me a copy please.
I think am in the right to kick up a fuss about this, am I not?
I would not worry about it, if I was still going to change my car, but due to the fact Fords can not get me a Fiesta Titanuim X, I will be keeping this one.

Description: I think this would be the cause of my windows steaming up all the time, and damp patch behind drivers seat.
