Door seals
During production, a sealant is applied to the door 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, a tight seal is not 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.
