Front Door Weatherstrip: Service and Repair
Front Door Weatherstrip Replacement
NOTE:
-
Put on gloves to protect your hands.
-
Take care not to scratch the door.
-
Take care not to damage the front upper corner hook and the rear upper corner clip (black) because they are not available separately.
-
Use a clip remover to remove the clips.
1. Remove the door checker mounting bolt (A) at the A-pillar.
2. Release the hook (B) and detach the clips (C, D, E, F, G). Then release the door weatherstrip (H) from the holder (I) on the door sash, and remove
the weatherstrip.
3. Install the weatherstrip in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
-
If the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, replace them with new ones.
-
Make sure the weatherstrip is installed in the holder securely.
-
Apply medium strength liquid thread lock to the door checker mounting bolt before installation.
-
Check for water leaks. See: Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door Window Glass/Adjustments
