Questions & answers
Care of rubber seals — Volkswagen Golf Mk7
How do I maintain the Golf Mk7 door and window rubber seals?
Treat them regularly with a silicone-based rubber care product. This keeps them flexible, improves sealing, and prevents sticking or freezing in winter.
Can frozen Golf Mk7 door seals tear?
Yes. If the seals stick to the door frame in freezing temperatures, forcing the door open can tear the rubber. Treat with rubber care product before winter to prevent sticking.
How often should I treat the Golf Mk7 rubber seals?
At least twice a year — before winter and again in spring — or whenever the rubber feels dry or stiff.
