Trunk / Liftgate Weatherstrip: Description and Operation

Rear Lid Seal 

Rear lid seals are equipped at the factory with sealant, applied to rear lid flange and then rolled on.

NOTE: 

-

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 so-called "hammer-stroke seal".

-

For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed together before installation.
