Notice:
When gently bending the door, DO NOT apply pressure against the inner door sheet metal, because it could be deformed. If an anchor point for
balance or pressure is needed, use the inner door armrest.

Windshield weatherstrip top outer molding (Figure # 2). Approximately 483 mm (19 inches) inboard from the top corners of the windshield, the
weatherstrip seal molding may not be secured and properly aligned next to the body sheet metal. To correct this condition, obtain locally or from
Kem Krest (1-800-955-8591), Permatex Auto Glass Sealer, P/N DWS 37 or equivalent. Following the directions on the package, sparingly apply a
fine bead between the weatherstrip molding and the body sheet metal. Be sure the sealer is smooth and evenly distributed along the entire molding.
Important:
This product flows into gaps best at or above normal room temperature. Clean off any excess sealer following package directions.
Important:
Do not use any sealer containing silicone on the windshield weatherstrip molding.
3.
Inner Door/Window Belt-line Seal (Figure # 3). Take a piece of paper folded in half and try to insert it under the inner door belt-line seal at the
bottom of the window. If the paper slides in easily, the inner door sheet metal needs to be gently pushed inward towards the window. Roll the
window down. Remove the inner door trim panel, if so equipped. Remove the door inner belt-line seal. Gently press on the inner door sheet metal
so that it moves into the window opening. Reinstall the door belt-line seal, roll the window up, and recheck the gap using the piece of folded paper.
Reinstall the inner door trim panel.
