    I am also interested in this thread. 2 weekends ago on a muddy and wet track I had quite a lot of mud to clean from that gap and splashing further up towards the factory door seals, so I think it is worth doing if it keeps a majority of it out.

    Tombie are you finding it necessary with the APT sliders .

    I don't appear to be getting anything coming through but have not tested them properly yet

    I did get a bit more dust in, but I have scuff plates on the panel which move the outer seal away from the body where the seal touches the edge...

    The D section extrusion stopped a lot of this.

    I'm now considering having an alloy plate laser cut to the original profile and fitting it to the slider to make the gap disappear...

    Is there any issue with water due to sliders being fitted?

    Closing gap between door and slider plate

    I'm finding it to be worthwhile. Mine is not ideal, being attached to the door because the slider surface is a dimpled finish. However it seems to work quite well. Photos of closed door and then opened.

    You need to suss out the best position in regard to the height up for the existing seals to mate with.
    Rich - could you tell us where you got this? I've had a pretty good go at trying to find this profile in ~20mm but no luck.

    Thanks,
    David

    Thanks Rich That'll teach me to go to an actual bricks and mortar shop rather than trying to do everything online!

    Self adhesive or did you need to glue it on?
