Trunk / Liftgate Weatherstrip: Service and Repair

Rear Lid

Rear Lid Seal

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

‹› During removal of the seal, sealant is distributed on interior side  of seal and the sides can be bent open easily. If the seal is being installed  again,

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".

‹› With partially removed seals, press the edges of the seal together  before installing.
