Front Side Door Water Deflector
NOTE: Whenever work is performed where the deflector (86) is disturbed, the deflector (86) must be properly sealed and taped to the door inner
panel to prevent waterleaks. For service sealing, strip caulking is recommended if additional sealing material is required.
When access to the door inner panel is required to perform service operations, the deflector (86) may be completely or partially detached from the
door inner panel. If the existing deflector (86) is damaged so that it will not properly seal the door assembly, replace the deflector (86).
If only partial removal of the deflector (86) is required, perform only the steps that are necessary to expose the required area of the door inner panel.
