Problem overview

Some Ford Transit Connect owners report experiencing issues with the door weatherstrip falling off, which can lead to frustrations over the vehicle's build quality and durability. This common problem often requires multiple replacements and can compromise the effectiveness of the weatherstripping that seals gaps around doors and windows, allowing elements like rain, wind, dust, and noise to enter the vehicle. Additionally, difficulties closing the door may arise from a compromised weatherstrip, among other factors. Owners are advised to address these weatherstripping issues promptly with the help of a qualified technician to ensure proper door function and prevent further complications. Some have attempted to fix loose weather stripping using products like 3M Super Weather Stripping Adhesive, emphasizing the importance of proper installation techniques and adhesives to maintain a strong bond.
