Rabbit L5-2.5L (BGP) (2006)
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.
