Inner Door Seal, Removing and Installing

The inner door seals are equipped at the factory with sealant,

applied to the door flange and then rolled on.

Note

♦

The sealant on the inside of the seal will spread when the seal is removed. The sides will bend up slightly.

If the seal is being reinstalled, the sealing strength and a secure fit are no longer guaranteed.

♦

For this reason, every seal that has been completely removed must be replaced with a so-called “hammer-

stroke seal”.

♦

For partially removed seals, the seal sides are pressed together before installing.

♦

The following describes the removal and installation of the left inner door seal. The right side is identical.

♦

For better illustration the front door is removed.
