also to determine if link is the source of noise. Replace as necessary.

2. Visually check to determine if a sufficient amount of grease has been applied to wire or rail groove. If not,

add grease as required.

3. Check wire for any damage or deterioration.

If any area of the weatherstrip is found to be damaged, replace as required.

2. Check for leakage around glass lid assembly.

• Close glass lid assembly.

• Pour water around surface to determine area of concern.
