Outer Door Seal

Outer Door Seal

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Adhesive strip remover (VAS 6349)

• Roller (3356)

• The Passat CC only has only a lower part of the outer door seal as a result of the frameless doors.

• The following describes removing and installing the left door outer seal only. Removing and installing the right door outer seal is identical.

• Remove protective film just prior to assembly. The processing temperature is approximately 68°F (20 °C).

Removing






- Remove the outer door seal from the door.

- Remove any of the remaining adhesive with the detent plate for the adhesive remover (VAS 6349).

Installation






- Clean the adhesive surface with adhesive remover thoroughly before bonding the outer door seal.

• The adhesive surface must be free of dust, grease and adhesive residue.

- Remove the adhesive tape protective film slightly at both ends.

- First slide the ends into the opening - arrow a - for the seal shaft - 2 - and into the opening - arrow b - for the mirror triangle - 3 -.

- Remove the protective film on adhesive tape and attach the seal- 1 - to the door.

• The figure is only an example. The Passat CC does not have any window frames.






- Press the entire adhesive surface for the seal- 3 - to the door - 1 - firmly all the way around with the roller (3356).

- This way, the seal is pressed to the side - arrow a - so that the roller (3356) comes into direct contact with the seal contact surface.

The force - arrow b - of the application roller only really reaches the adhesive surface - 2 - as described above.

- If the seal - 3 - comes loose again in small areas, press these on again with the application roller (3356).

• To ensure that the outer door seal does not loosen or slide again, do not close the door for 2 hours.
