Hi, i
i have had my brand new Karoq for 8 weeks two of those weeks its been in for damage repair due to a someone backing into my parked car. When it was returned i decided to go away for a few days, the weather was wet once arrived i unloaded the car i noticed i had mud on my clothes upon inspection i noticed alot of dirt on the seal which is attached to Both back doors and on the inside of the wheel arches there is a lot.
All my cars have acumulated dirt in that area but never as much as this. Has anyone elses noticed the same or i am womdering if it is due to the damage done to my car.

I haven't, in fact would say it is one of the best I've had in this respect. I'd suspect the damage / repairs...

Hi,
Earlier today I noticed quite a bit of dirt on the inside of the back doors Adjacent to the rubber seal. Suspect this is a design fault with Karoq.
Hope that helps in some way.
Karoq SE L 1.5.

Thanks really appreciate your coments I feel a little better knowing there is someone who has noticed the same. I was beginning to think the accident caused it. Its still not good having to watch your cloths getting in and out of the car.

Crud build up is 'normal' on these back door seals. They are better than the Yeti ones but it is annoying. The metal work is at least protected on the Karoq better that the Yeti door where the muck was trapped on the seem for the wrap around for the stomne protection 'foil'.

This sort of dirt build-up is not unusual; my yeti used to do it too.
At least the door sills do not seem to get as dirty as the yeti; I don't find mud on my trouser legs every time I get in or out of the car.
Have fun,
Ian.

My Karoq suffers with the crud build up on the back door seals. Which must be a design fault, I have had about thirty different cars over the years and never had this problem.
