| During production, a sealant is applied to the door inner
seals, which are then placed on the door flange and rolled on. |
 Note
- When removing the seal, the sealant is distributed across the
inside of the seal. The sides are bent upwards slightly when this is
being done. If the seal is then refitted, sealing and firm seating
are no longer guaranteed.
- Therefore, each seal that is completely removed must be
renewed with a so-called “tap-on seal”.
- If a seal has been partially removed, squeeze sides of seal
together before installing
- Removal and installation are described only for the left door
inner seal. The right side is similar.
- For reasons of clarity, the front door is shown in removed
state

Questions & answers
Removing and installing door inner seal — Volkswagen Golf Mk7
How is the Golf Mk7 front door inner seal fitted?
At the factory, sealant is applied and the seal is rolled onto the door flange. When replacing, clean off old sealant, apply new sealant to the seal and roll it on.
Can I reuse the Golf Mk7 door inner seal?
Not recommended. Removing destroys the sealant bond and deforms the seal. Fit a new seal for a weather-tight joint.
