Replacing the seal around the opening of the sliding door

[fozzybear]

Hi,
Looks like I need to replace the seal around the opening of the sliding door on my T5 California. Any advice out there. Specifically, is this a DIY job or do I need to take it ino the garage. If DIY, where can I get a seal from and do I need a genuine part.

Many thanks for any help.

What's wrong with it ? It may be possible to repair it, depending on the problem.

The 'flappy' bit on the top has come away from the main body of the seal - as a 'temporary' fix i have used some double sided tape. I have attached a photo of the problem. Any thoughts
