DOOR WEATHERSTRIP
Area 1 - Item 2
Door Weatherstrip Installation
The rear upper corner of the door weatherstrip should conform to the contour of the door frame. It should not be seated forward or low (shown by broken
line in Figure 3), as this would increase the chance for marginal weatherstrip to body contact.
FRONT DOOR FRAME BUMPER
Area 1 - Item 3
The rear leg of the front door frame should contact the bumper on the lock pillar or center pillar garnish molding with the door in the closed position.
Contact should not be so great to increase door closing efforts (see Fig. 4).
