Front Door Weatherstrip: Service and Repair

DOOR OPENING SEALS

REMOVAL

1. Open door and separate the door opening seal from the door opening flange.

INSTALLATION

1. Position the seal to the bottom of the door opening, with bulb facing outboard, starting the installation at the center of the lower flange. Press the seal onto the sill flange and work around the perimeter of the door opening until fully seated. Work in one direction, smoothing the seal to avoid puckers or wrinkles.
2. When installing a new weatherstrip on the front door opening, remove the tear strip starting at the splice and moving around the front of the door to the back of the opening.
