INFORMATION
Subject:
Side and Rear Cargo Door Seals
Models:
1996 Chevrolet and GMC G1, G2 Models
The 1996 full-size Van has a new design side and rear cargo door seal system that features improved water management/drainage. The primary seal is
attached to the body opening and the secondary seal to the door assembly.
A part of the door seal referred to as a "mucket" (Figure 1), is located on each door at the upper corner nearest the opposite door. The muckets meet
when the doors are closed. Each mucket is designed with a pocket that captures water and drains it through and out the bottom of the door seal.
A water leak into the vehicle, at or near the side or rear doors, could be caused by:
^
A mucket may be compressed within itself or onto the other mucket
^
A mucket is clogged by contamination (dirt, leaves, sealer, etc.)
^
A mucket is cut, torn or pinched
