1993-98 QUEST WORN PAINT OR RUST ON SLIDING DOOR
APPLIED VEHICLE:
All 1993-98 Quest (V40)
SERVICE INFORMATION
If a 1993-98 Quest has worn paint or rust on the inside lower portion of the sliding door (below the bottom edge of the door finisher), the cause may be
the body weatherstrip (located on the body) rubbing against the painted surface of the sliding door. Over time, body vibration and opening/closing of the
sliding door may wear the paint to eventually expose bare metal.
Use the following service procedure to correct this incident.
