whatcangowrong Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) As above I'm going to look at a 2000 330ci tomorrow (if the seller is available) everything sounds good about it apart from both front door are perished. Which i thought would be an easy fix but from what I've read their not cheap and a pain to fit! If they are just a bit on the 'dry side' could i bring them back to life with some rubber treatment, such as http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Einszett-Gummi-Pflege-Rubber-Care-Stick-100ml-/251422930485?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 ?? Or does it mean a replacment is needed ? Edited May 9, 2015 by whatcangowrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Syxx Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 depends on how bad they are got any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim27 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Budget around £500 for replacement, worst case. You may be able to glue them if they've split though (plenty of info already on here about that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragamuffin Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I was expecting something worse tbh. Not too bad for a 15 y/o car really. whatcangowrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooge Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Can you not go second hand from a specialist breakers like Quarry Motors? I doubt they will charge anything near to £500... whatcangowrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatcangowrong Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yeah that's true dooge it could be worth a try, I'm going to speak to the guy today so I'll report back later ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatcangowrong Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Well I've spoke to the guy about the seals and it's more that they have come unstuck a bit than anything, which (from reading threads/stickys on here) is more than a common thing on the coupes... so looks like I've have to read through the 'door seal' tread and find out what glue works the best!!

Jim27 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I did my passenger side seal with Unibond Extreme almost 3 years ago. The seal was split from the top rear corner all the way down to within a few inches of the mirror! Glued it and taped it in place with electrical tape for 24hrs. 3 yrs later and it's still perfect whatcangowrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley1995 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 It has been lowered looking at that, looks like they fitted an M bumper at some point too. What's your plans for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it had, well saves doing it myself lol No mad plans for it, get it serviced for piece of mind, oem look, keep it clean! Look good with an M Sport rear bumber and some gloss black door trims that! Yeah it does need M rear bumper to finish the look, maybe in the future once the service and little bits are done bennno2005 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
