Hi all,,, had my Grandland for about a year
Is it me ? or has anyone else notice how bad/strong the rubber smell is coming off the door seals?
had a few new cars and not had this problem before,,, but this smell is not fading of course now we have warmer weather it really bad,,
Its not like the new car smell, but like industrial rubber chemical smell, especially when it gets hot out, but they have smelled bad even in lower temps.
Smell comes from every door rubber, friends and family can smell it as well,,,
any thoughts ?

Hi Fly Grandland and Welcome to the Forum.
I have had my car nearly 3 years now and haven't had this issue.
Is your car still under warranty? If so you could take it to the dealership to explain the issue and see what they say.
You could also try something like Gtechniq W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner or any all purpose cleaner on the seals to see if this removes the odour.
