Outer Door Seal

Outer Door Seal

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

• Only remove the protective film right before assembly. Processing temperature approx. 68° F (20 °C).

Removing






- Pull off outer door seal from door.

Installation

- Remove any adhesive residue still present using the radial disc for the Adhesive Strip Remover (VAS 6349)

- Clean the adhesive surface with adhesive remover (D 002 000 10) right before bonding the outer door seal.

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






- Align the outer door seal so that the point where it will be bonded - arrow b - is located in the center area of the sill panel.

- Begin installing the outer door seal in the upper curve - arrow a -.

- Remove the film covering the adhesive and apply the seal to the door. Do not stretch outer door seal excessively so that the seal is not too long at the end.






- Press the entire seal adhesive surface - 3 - well all around onto the door - 1 - using the application roller (3356).

- In 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 - from the application roller can only reach the adhesive surface - 2 - if the procedure described above is used.

- If the seal has become too long, cut it back to the correct length and press the area with the joint on well.

- If the seal - 3 - comes loose again in small areas, press these on again using the Roller (3356).

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