Door frozen to the roof trim.
The door frame may crack or splinter if the door is forced open.
Cause:
Due to weather conditions, the roof trim can become saturated with water, and the door frame can freeze in cold temperatures.
Solution:
Replacing a damaged roof trim.
Golf (1J1) - 2-door model.
Links = Part Number 1J6 853 705 K.
Right = No. 1J6 853 706 K
Golf (1J1 - 4-door)
Links = Part Number 1J6 853 705 L.
Right = No. 1J6 853 706 L
Bora (1J2)
Links = No. 1J5 853 705 E
Right = No. 1J5 853 706 E
Golf/Bora Variant (1J5/1J6)
Links = No. 1J9 853 705 E
Right = No. 1J9 853 706 E
Apply Silicon Lubricant Spray No. D 007 000 A2 and rub it into the flocked lining of the roof trim. This can help reduce the risk of doors freezing shut again.
"Note on prevention:"
To prevent this, it is advisable to treat the roof rails of the vehicles with a silicone-based lubricant spray. Since these measures do not provide a permanent solution, it may be necessary to repeat this care procedure during the winter months, depending on the weather conditions. Tschüss
