Trunk / Liftgate Weatherstrip: Service and Repair

Rear Lid Seal

• During removal of the seal, sealant is distributed on interior side of seal and flanks are bent up easily. If the seal is re-installed, the sealing performance and proper seating are no longer guaranteed.

• For this reason, every completely removed seal must be replaced with a "hammer-stroke seal".

• For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed together before installation.

Removing

- Pull off rear lid seal - 1 - from body flange.





Installing

- Align rear lid seal - 1 - with vulcanized point - arrow - to center of left tail lamp.
