Jetta SportWagen L5-2.5L (CBUA) (2009)
Rear Door Weatherstrip: Service and Repair
Inner Door Seal
Rear Door, Wagon
‹› The rear doors on the Wagon are different in concept from the rear doors on the Sedan. The outer door panel is not longer removable. The window
regulator and the door lock are accessible when the subframe is removed.
Inner Door Seal
Inner door seals are equipped at the factory with sealant, applied to door flange and then rolled on.
‹› During removal of the seal, sealant is distributed on interior side of seal and flanks are bent up easily. If the seal is re-installed, the sealing
performance and proper seating are no longer guaranteed.
‹› For this reason, every completely removed seal must be replaced with a "hammer-stroke seal".
‹› For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed together before installation.
