    Closing gap between door and slider plate

    I am trialing an idea to improve the gap between the bottom edge of the door and the slider plate.



    The gap occurs because the factory plastic trim includes a raised profile that allows the door bottom lip to close on the sill.
    The slider plate does not have a raised profile.

    I have added a Trim-Lok rubber seal with a self-adhesive backing.



    It seems to work but needs testing in wet & dusty conditions.
    It's not meant to be an actual seal but at least be as good as the factory plastic. I guess longevity could be an issue but we'll see.





    Regards,

    I've had mine on for 4 yrs, still doing the trick.





    You need to suss out the best position in regard to the height up for the existing seals to mate with.

    That looks good and there I was thinking I was clever and original
    I figured it wouldn't adhere to my slider plate due to its powder-coat ripple finish, hence attaching to the door lip.

    Thanks, I found some similar but they all appear too small, the gap at the back of the front door is about 15mm, I can't find any 20x20mm

    Hi
    Is this worth doing?

    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
