Removal and installation of door inner seals
Removal and installation of door inner seals
During production, a sealant is applied to the door inner seals, which are then placed on the door flange and rolled on.
  Note
t  On removing the seal, the sealant spreads onto the interior of the seal and the sides open slightly. If the seal is then refitted, sealing and firm seating are no longer guaranteed.
t  Therefore each seal which is removed completely should be replaced by a so-called „tap-on“ seal.
t  If a seal has been partially removed, squeeze sides of seal together before refitting.
   
Carry out the following work:
Removal:
–  Remove pillar trims as required → General body repairs, interior; Rep. gr.70
–  Remove sill panel strip → General body repairs, interior; Rep. gr.68.
