SERVICE PROCEDURE





NOTE:
Figure 2 shows an enlarged cutaway view of correct weatherstrip fit (black) into the door channel (blue).

^ The weatherstrip's "upper" ridge in the area circled must be fully fitted into the door channel FIRST.

^ After the "upper" ridge is fully inserted, roll the "lower" ridge into the J-shaped channel area.

^ Each step below must be done along the entire length of the weatherstrip.





1. Fit the "upper" weatherstrip ridge into the door channel (see Figure 3).

NOTE:
Weatherstrip cut for illustration purposes only.





2. While maintaining upward tension on the weatherstrip to keep it in the channel, use a plastic "finesse stick" or similar trim tool to push the "lower" ridge over and into the J-shaped channel area.





3. Using a plastic "finesse stick" or similar trim tool, push on the mid-section area to fully seat the weatherstrip.

^ Run your finger down this area to feel for any high spots. High spots will indicate where the weatherstrip ridge is not fully seated. Reseat as needed.





4. Carefully lift the weatherstrip slightly to see if it is fully seated. Reseat as needed.

^ Figure 6 shows an OK condition.





^ Figure 7 shows a No Good - condition, needs to be reseated.
