Upgrade your door seals !

Hey guys. Been having a slight door seal issue and figured I'd devise a better seal as the x3 ones are very cheap and fall apart easily. I made my way to a local junk yard and from the cars there I realized the e46 seals would work perfect I grabbed 4 of the best ones. I went with all fronts as I'd rather a bit extra than not enough

A comparison of the seals as you can see the e46 one is much larger and made with thicker rubber so it will not collapse or wear through as easy



They have a nice velour finish on the inside apposed to the all rubber



Unfortunately the fronts were a bit short I grabbed an extra seal an used that and a rubber insert to connect them all together



It's almost un noticeable unless you are looking for it




And finally a nice tight fit =]
