Gaps between doors and GOE sliders

Best bit with mine - doesn't touch the slider when muddy [emoji6]

Cut some neoprene rubber and stuff it into the D-extrusion with a bit of silicone / adhesive..

No more dirt in the seal [emoji41]

Well I purchased the rubber that David suggested (used eBay link supplied). I attached it as suggested by Scott.

Didn't work as the rubber was 13mm high and did not bridge the gap. I am not sure even if the 19mm type suggested by Scott was big enough.

So a wasted $20. Going to find some bigger rubber.

I have APT sliders fitted.

All the best

The 19mm height is just enough for my APT sliders at one end and is heavily compressed at the other end. The gap is not even along the door.

Tombie, any chance of a photo of yours?

I hadn't actually seen anything on this topic when I made a new thread about my amazing invention, only to find that Rich had beaten me by 4 years.

Cheers,

I believe I bought the same stuff as you but when i put on a trial piece on the door there still is a gap. I have the APT sliders with the foot plate and 2014 TDV6.

The other position,

Not keen on this one.

i could put the rubber over the gap between the slider and step

or do as Tombie has and also put some pinch weld on the door

That is odd. Must be some variation in alignment of the trim at the bottom of the door?

seems like it

i had Ben from APT install them. When doing it he removed something and asked if I wanted it which I didn't. Not sure what it was now and may be I had to put it back on.

Sorry that that is very vague but it was a few years ago now.

May be all I need is to cover the gap in the slider step ?
