In the absence of anything serious or anything at all going wrong with my car in a year the best thing to happen to this thread is some spam.
Because I didn't seal my door up properly last time I changed the regulator I had a wet shagpile at the bottom of my door card causing moisture in the car.
I whipped the door card off a couple of weeks back to dry out and have been driving round without it for a week or so which is just annoying.
I decided to seal it up properly and use the proper stuff (I just pushed the membrane back last time as I thought the old butyl was still sticky and it lasted a good few years). When I say properly, the top half was well stuck so I just left it, I just redid the bottom half.
So I got some butyl tape from ebay £5.98. I bought 6x5mm that I cut in half with scissors.

I cleaned the door panel with meths to get old dust and residue off.
I used a heat gun on the door panel to warm it up a bit, then stuck some butyl tape on the door following the original path. I then heat gunned it again and pushed it onto the door with the backing tape to get a good stick and seal the joins near the trim clip holes.
I left the old butyl on the membrane as there was no way it was coming off. Then pushed the membrane onto the warm butyl and quickly pushed the door card back on.
Oh and I flipped the fire extinguisher bracket as I kept hitting the handle with my foot getting in when in tight parking spaces.
