Ahh, the window seal. All good.

Soz, too late to the party... "I've removed a door card and the seal in the window behind the door card has come out!" Anyone know what natmack refers to here?

Thanks Black, yeah I knew the question was 'loaded'... more just in case someone started screaming not to go near the vehicle. That info is good (I have that doc tucked away somewhere but forgot all about it :rolleyes: ). I'm just going to have to limit use of the car until we find the culprit...

Hey Gurus, Other day thought I felt a slight engine shudder turning into driveway - then stability control turned off, then quiet, no further problem for a few days until tonight... Again, turning into a driveway, stability control went off, engine light on. Engine shuddering. Engine light now...

You can usually get the seat bottom trim from Holmart ( but that's Vic, there's something likely closer for you). I've got one from eBay and it was OK too. Assuming you mean the plastic that houses the seat controls on RHS - if so, bloody common for it to crack.

Image below is what can happen. I've since replaced all four speakers. Hope the link works. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/attachments/img_1725-jpeg.265294/ Yes, if you think the butyl looks even a little bit suspect then i'd replace the lot (in that door). This way you start with a nice...

Yeah that door seems to be in reasonable nick. Butyl looks black and 'moist' (which is good). Check that butyl strip down the bottom of the door/plastic as that's where most of the gunk will get and eventually break down the butyl. Your speaker doesn't look shot from here either (big give-away...

If you want to stop the water, now and the future - do it properly. Plastic sheeting (dust/water seals) are available from Holden if yours are ripped etc. They are also available as an aftermarket 'general sizing' from Car Builders. The Holden ones (although ridiculously priced) are better as...

No probs. You're certainly not the first and won't be the last! Sorry that this is not my area. Hope you get it sorted.

Hiya, It would likely help you and others if your post subject was almost anything other than "Need help please". Remember, this is the web and people 'scan', rather than 'study'. There are some very knowledgeable folk in many areas here, and also 'guns' in specific areas. You are far more...

Yeah i've seen similar styles on lots of vehicles. They are great when new. I knew mine was on the way out when it started double-clicking (unlock/lock/unlock in one action). I originally had it fixed under warranty, twice... (long time ago now) and fixed it myself, twice... then it just didn't...

Mine used to do this as well. I'm pretty sure it's the original touchpad setup, as I have since installed a button and it has not happened since. The touchpads in these vehicles wear badly and become next to useless, they get very wet (either rain or washing) and don't shed it.

Those pins - ouch! Late to the conversation... but yeah leave it there. It CAN be fixed (there are a few that do this - you take out the unit and send it to them) assuming you're leaving your orig head unit there. From what i can gather, these OH/DVD players were not the best quality and after...

That was my next comment... :p

Nice clean door - like it! I am, however, a bit disappointed that you didn't wipe the top of that speaker bracket! Look at the dust! Tsk tsk. ;) Yes, the VE door design is not the best for water shedding. One of the keys is to keep the drain holes unblocked. Its not sexy work, but it's...
