Inner Door Seal






Inner Door Seal

Inner door seals are equipped at the factory with sealant, applied to door flange and then rolled on.

When the seal is removed, the sealant is spread on the inner side of the seal and the sides are bent up slightly. If the seal is being installed again, the sealing performance and proper seating are no longer guaranteed.

For this reason, every completely removed seal must be replaced with a so-called "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.
