Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted March 15, 2024 Moderator Report Posted March 15, 2024 Without any warning or signs the Drivers door rubber on the Focus just simply disintegrated into at least 8 pieces! Can you buy these things like you do Escort rubbers? I cant find anything locally. Are the drivers doors on Sedans and Hatches the same? Thanks!

What model and year is it?
Miniliteman Posted March 15, 2024 Report Posted March 15, 2024 There was an issue with door-rubbers letting go, and Ford published a TSB for that I believe.

Letting go is an understatement. I have never seen anything like it, one day it was all fine without any perishing then next day there are all these chunks out of it and a huge split running up most of the side. Its like it had come creatures eggs in it and it burst open when they hatched! Normally you get a slight tear or perishing first but there was nothing like that. I know because i just ran some rubber protectant around it the week before. You dont think the protectant destroyed it? Hmmmm🤔

Nige65 Posted March 15, 2024 Report Posted March 15, 2024 I have a Mk3 Focus and all of the door seals have required re-adhering back into their locations, I frequently see Focuses with door seals hanging out from under the doors. Can't believe a company as big as Ford couldn't have come up with a decent solution at the design stage. 2

They show a front door seal so they probably do the rear too. https://genuinemotors.co.uk/products/front-door-aperture-weatherstrip-rubber-seal-for-ford-focus-mk2-2004-2012 1

I can view the item but it wont let me add it to the cart and also its showing a $55 (Dollar Price) Shouldnt it be in pounds? Looks like it should be the one though
Dave Knight Posted March 16, 2024 Report Posted March 16, 2024 My 2014 Focus estate has spewed all its door rubbers out. I used Sikaflex to re-attached them. Real design flaw that.

It does say they ship to Aus. https://genuinemotors.co.uk/policies/shipping-policy but its £39. Did you want the rear doors too?. You may want to send them an email perhaps.

In the Ford TSB for the Focus doorrubbers there is a special adhesive mentioned (with Ford finiscode) but people over here use Loctite 406. 1

So these things dont have U Channel section that grips onto the door frame?

Dave Knight Posted March 16, 2024 Report Posted March 16, 2024 James, They are just tacked on, no specific track or aperture. Crap design. This is my rear doors, shocking. 1
