I think the ones that say ford may be the optional ones for non st foci.

Bargain :lol:

Well here is the best picture of the seals that i could get. Sorry for the quality but only have a cameraphone. These are the replaced seals on my parents focus. I am not sure if they are really any different, however i never noticed the holes before, but never really took much notice either. Its about time fords started fixing these faults. (my parents car is now a year old and the windows still rattle) Dale

Bean Counter You seem like you have had roughly the same experience as my parents. basically fords do not know what to do so they should be getting back to my parents this week to say what is happening. As for your chassis being twisted , i think that the dealers / fords may have just put all of the doors in wrong, but if you suspect a twisted chassis i would ask them to check it for you. Now its stopped raning i am off to take a pic of my parents "new style seals" to post them up on here so people can compare them, not that they are a lot of good. Dale

smjohns - PM Sent I am not to sure on the difference. I cant remember whether the old seals had holes in them or not. If they did then there is not any noticeable difference. Good luck everyone with this problem, Dale

The creaky windows were sorted in my parents car for all of 20 miles (again (after a 3 week stay in the dealers)) they replaced the top seals finnis numbers: 1343672, 1343673, 1343676 and 1343677. This is for a 5 door, but as the problem still exists they are not much good. Another trip to the dealers :cry:

I found a pic on autotrader. Here are the problem seals!

As Smjohns knows my parents car is currently in the garage having this problem fixed. This is the 3rd week the car has been in now for the new seals. alongside the other 3/4 weeks at christmas time. The garage believe they have fixed the problem and have ordered a set of seals and should be fitting them today. I will get the finis number and post it on here in a new topic. (5 door version of the seals) The seals they are replacing in my parents focus are the top bouncy seals , that are in the top of the door. The problem is that when you are moving the seals either bend in too much or not

Nice, anyone got any pics? Wonder what extra standard kit it will have.

When my warrenty ran out a company rang up (about 6 months alter and asked if i wanted to extend it) My parents have this as our family car. 1.6 100 PS 5 Door Zetec Climate And i have a facelfit zetec. Both great cars. Good Luck with your new car, Dale

Rite , after looking at the seals i cannot see where they are modified atall, maybee it is an interanl part or the dealer just explained it wrong. We had the windows all out and sorted in January , along with all of the other rattles. Since early march the dreadded creaking has came back again , untill this week when the windows are nearly as bad again. Another trip abck to the dealer ...

We fill up at shell/ esso ( get better fuel economy) and we stop on the second click , like how you are suposed to without any problems. Dale

Sorry for sounding a bit thick, but what are 1 toutch indicators!!! Dale

Ring Ford Customer Relations and have a right old moan! I sent them a stinking we-mail on behalf of my parents and this resulted in the car being in the garage for 3 weeks and given a courtesy car. All window rattles fixed, dash rattle fixed and other general rattles being sorted. We had a jingling noise on full lock, it was the power steering pump , that also got fixed.

Yep happens everytime you open the boot in ran , or if you are washing the car. the solution is when it is wet to open the boot slowly to let the water run off and not into your boot. Dale
