Note: If support brackets -7- (Part No. 8G0 945 421 A) are not riveted to the sealing rails, they must be secured as shown with M3 countersunk screws. Glue on a 2 mm (5/64 in.) thick backing strip -2- (e.g. rubber) as shown.

• The rear part of the support bracket can be bent back slightly to ease assembly
• The support bracket must be seated on the inside of the sealing rail.
• The longitudinal hole (arrow) in the support bracket must be opened up to match the elongated hole in the sealing rail.

- Apply corrosion protection as needed.




- Adjust seals so that a seal is made along top of door window glass.
• When roof frame seal is correctly adjusted, distance -b- must be 8 mm (+2.0/-0 mm) [5/16 in. (+5/64/-0 in)].




- Adjust height of roof frame seals (arrow -B-) as needed at elongated holes and screws (arrows -A-).
