I'm having a problem with both my doors on my A3. If it's been raining and I go to get into the car, when closing the door I get an invariable 3 or 4 drips onto my trousers. This embarrassment is then followed by a dribble into the car when I do some reversing and manoeuvering out of my drive. After this initial dribble and drip it tends to stop (ie it lets no more water in) until I open the door and close it again when the process repeats.

Can anyone tell me if this is an obvious door seal problem? Do I need new seals or the door re-hanging? If there is an easy way to do this ora link anyone can post with how to fix the problem it would be most appreciated.

I'm a relatively young driver and this is my first post on the site. I realise that the majority of posts aren't this basic in terms of the problem but I intend to get up to speed as fast as possible.

Any help most greatly appreciated.

 

this is an common problem with the Audi because of the aerodynamics mine does it and the only way to defeat it is fit wind deflectors on the windows

 

Glad to have you here! Ilike reading down to earth issues with the car we enjoy.

I appreciate avant80@2.6's replies. I've already learned a lot from my short time here.

 

My 2002 A3 does it only slightly, just a drip or two when I open the door, but nothing after that. It sounds like the maybe the door seals could do with a look at....

 

I'll look into the seals and wind reflectors, thanks.

Cheers for the help guys.
