Just replaced all four weather strips at a total cost of £62.00
and a total time of two minutes to do the job!
I noticed a while back that each strip was bulging at the ends with white power falling out when touched, and then one day noticed that one of the front ones went missing. Went to the local-ish dealer and was told it would be £9.54 +vat so I thought I would go for all four not realising that the rear ones are more expensive, and the two front one are the same part F1462269899 while the two back ones are different part F1462098899 and F1462099899 and they are also differently priced. One at £16.81 +vat and one at £16.88 +vat. Once ordered the dealer phoned about two days laters to say the parts were in
The ends of the old ones were bulging as inside the strip is a metal clip (tin?) which runs the full length and the ends are against bare metal in the corners of the door so there is the difference in metals. Due to a magic process (ionisation? well it has been *cough* years since I did chemistry in school) this causes one of the metals to corrode faster than usual and in this case it was the tin strip
Sorry for wasting three minutes of your time in which time you could of replaced all four of yours
