The original post is old hat mate no need for them if the doors are leaking follow the guide buried in the thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=3255713#post3255713
Under the rear mats my carpets are slightly damp and I get a bit of condensation in the mornings.
I just took these after a torrential downpour. Should I be worrying about door seals?

i had the leaking problem in my leon when purchased,
the fixes where to remove all old foam seal from the doors and install butyl. this is the sea lthats on the inner door carrier once you unbolt it you can peal off the old seal and install the new butyl tape (Brilliant stuff)
put vaseline on door seals to improve water tightness.
take out foam seal in pollen filter tray and install butyl.
makesure the rear window washer jet pipe that runs in with the wiring loom behind the heater fan isnt
broken\fractured or disconnected, (mine was disconnected, but my leak was coming in through the
inner carrier seals and pollen filter. which is now fixed.
take out glove box and undo the 2 screws under the fan to drop the fan out and reveal if any water is in there to find out if this is the cause of your problem.

The carpets are damp to the back of the hand. There's only water on the plastic sills and rubbers are dry.
I will investigate further.

I had an unpleasant situation when bought a car. Week later i found my footwells wet and I had to dismantle all interrior and remove carpets to dry them out. 
Hope you won't have to...

When doing this repair how did people get any excess water out of the doors?
I have a Wet Vac to hand but I'd imagine a air line would be of benefit too?

But in your picture from post #1407 I see that the rubber door sealant is wet!?

After further investigation I do see where the water is creeping in over the rubbers.
I don't have it bad but will do the repair soon.

The lower b-pillar trim is fixed with plastic clips. If I well remember you should start to pull from top-front corner. If it's hard fixed you can first insert something underneath...
Alright chaps!
I'm going to attempt this fix at the weekend on my Leon, but also on my mother's Passat.
I just have a question regarding the butyl tape...what thickness should I purchase?
If someone wants to send me a link to the website where they bought there's from that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
