Door Components, Inner Door Seal
Inner Door Seal
The inner door seals are equipped at the factory with sealant, applied to the door flange and then rolled on.
• The sealing compound will be distributed on the inside of the seal and the flanks will be slightly bent when the seal is removed. If the seal is installed again, it may not fit securely and it make leak.
• For this reason, every seal, that has been removed completely, must be replaced with a "hammer-stroke seal".
• With partially removed seals, press the edges of the seal together before installing.
• The following describes removing and installing the right inner door seal only. Removing and installing the left inner door seal is identical.
