Step D

Step D:





1. Add EPT foam behind the body color windshield molding (Roof Drip Side Finish molding) at base of A-pillar. (20 x 15 x 55 mm foam)

Foam Dimensions: 20 x 15 x 55 mm (0.79 x 0.60 x 2.17 in.)





2. Remove the front fender to cowl side seal.





3. Partially remove the roof drip side finish molding.

NOTE:
Detach and replace only the 4 WHITE clips from the bottom of the A-pillar and partially remove the molding up to the top of the windshield. The clip at the lowest position usually does NOT require replacement.

If the lowest clip is damaged during molding removal, replace with P/N 75545-30150 (RH side) and 75546-30100 (LH side).





CAUTION:
^ Be careful when removing the molding.

^ Protect the painted surfaces by applying masking tape during repair procedure.

^ Move the bottom of the molding out from behind the fender and hood.

^ Wrap the tip of the molding temporarily with a piece of cloth to protect the vehicle paint from damage.





4. Remove the 4 white clips from the molding by pushing on the retaining clips on the molding to release the white clips (one-time use). Install 4 NEW clips to the A-pillar (NOT to the molding).





5. Attach EPT foam (7) at the front of the roof drip side finish molding.

NOTE:

^ The front surface of the EPT foam MUST be aligned 30 mm (1.18 in.) from the cutout section in the molding.

^ Align the foam so that the foam top surface is touching the bottom surface of the painted section of the molding.
