I have had a Pax bedroom wardrobe with two glass sliding doors for one year now, which was assembled by the IKEA assembly service (it’s quite large). I noticed that while the doors have brush seals on the sides and are also sealed at the top, there is a fairly wide gap at the bottom guide rail, which I believe is the cause of the dust inside the wardrobe.
My question: does anyone else have this wardrobe and can confirm whether this is normal or if it might be an assembly mistake?
In theory, it should be possible to fix this with a brush seal from a hardware store. Has anyone done something like this before and might have some tips?
Thanks in advance!

I’m not considering a construction error at this point...

Hello Helmut and all Ikea fans,
your post is already a few years old. I am currently facing the same problem. I bought a visually appealing 3-meter (10-foot) wide Pax sliding door wardrobe with the no longer available beautiful Tonnes doors (2x 1.5 meters (5 feet)). When looking at the wardrobe from above (I noticed this while installing the lights), there is a very large gap in the door behind which the other door slides, and a small gap on the other door. This also leads to dust accumulating on the shelves inside the wardrobe along these gaps. This really annoys me, as this is something you don’t consider or notice when buying... It would mean dusting every few days – NO! Why else do I have a wardrobe? Or sealing the top of the wardrobe somehow, but how? I don’t have an idea for that yet... How did you eventually solve this problem? Why does so few people seem to notice it? There is almost no information about this online... And what was Ikea thinking? Strange. I would really appreciate any ideas or answers.
Best regards!
