Make sure that the section with the lip (3) cleanly rests against the edge (4) of the rear window.







Then, bond the entire section and roll over the full length with special tool 51 0 300.

- In area (A), make sure that the seal (1) is free of bubbles and correctly rests on the window glass
- Especially in the area of the end pieces, make sure there is a clean bond.
