Door Seal Issue?

I have had the driver's door seal replaced, glued, and replaced again. The last replacement episode, was when I went to pick it up from the dealer, opened the door ... and the door seal pulled out! It is VERY annoying to have to reallign the seal every time I get in or out of the car (it keeps the door from shutting, too). I told the dealer to just keep the car until they could fix it. They have had the car for several weeks in my 10 months of ownership (fortunately, it is not a daily driver). I wish I could reframe my attitude to allow me to just fix it every time I open the door without getting annoyed, but I am failing. Should I just sell it and let it tourture some other poor unsuspecting soul or can this actually be fixed?

Can you post a picture? Is the seal sticking to the opposing surface...could you put some 303 Protectant on the seal.

I had the same seal problem but on the passenger door. Just in case, my dealer replaced both door seals and I have had no problem since.

Good luck with yours.

I had the same issue as did others.

I had my dealer replace them twice, and this last time it's working without issue. My drivers and passenger open and close (fully cycle) 6 times each day, with some days an extra 4 times (Yes I just counted the times), so far so it has not come out. I can't be sure if my dealership used automotive black glue as well or not, but the factory did as when my deal came off the first time, I noticed the black automotive glue on the door frame.
