Outer Window Shaft Strip, Removing and Installing

Note

♦

The outer window shaft strip has a metal insert in the center.

♦

If it gets bent, the outer window shaft strip can longer be straightened out again. It will remain “wavy”.

♦

Therefore the outer window shaft strip must be removed and installed evenly without bending it.

♦

The following describes the removal and installation of the left outer window shaft strip. Removing and

installing the right window shaft strip is identical.

Removing

flange -2- in direction of -a arrows-. Do not bend the strip while

doing so.

It is permissible to use assembly aids.

♦

Do not use any striking tools to install the outer window shaft strip.
