Removing and installing door inner seal
Removing and installing door inner seal
During production, a sealant is applied to the door inner seals, which are then placed on the door flange and rolled on.
  Note
t  When seals are removed, the sealant will spread to the inside of the seal and the flanks will be bent out 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.
t  The removal and installation sequence is only for the right door inner seal. The removal and installation of the left door inner seal is similar.
   
Removing
–  To remove door inner seal, remove pillar trims as required → General body repairs, interior; Rep. gr.70
–  Remove sill panel strip → General body repairs, interior; Rep. gr.68.
–  Pull door inner seal -1- off body flange.
Installing
–  Align door inner seal -1- so that vulcanised point -arrow b- is at same height as upper hinge -arrow b-.
–  Start installing door inner seal at top radius of door aperture -arrow a-.
