Trunk / Liftgate Weatherstrip: Description and Operation

Rear Lid

Rear Lid Gasket

The weather seal on the rear lid is equipped at the factory with a sealant, applied to body flange and then rolled on.

‹› The sealing compound will be distributed on the inside of the seal and the flanks will be slightly bent when the seal is removed. When the seal is

installed again, it may not fit securely and it make leak.

‹› 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.
