4&5-Dr,& 323(W) Revised 7/27/87




DESCRIPTION

On certain vehicles (as listed in this bulletin), there are two possible problems that may occur with the rear door weatherstrip.
1. The weatherstrip may be torn at position "A".
2. The weatherstrip may force itself out of the door sash at position "B", resulting in breakage.

These conditions are caused by a backward movement of the weatherstrip when the door is opened and shut.

To prevent the above problems from occurring, the following modifications have been made.

1. The length of the weatherstrip has been shortened.
2. The diameter of the pads has been changed.
3. Double-sided self-adhesive tape has been newly installed.
4. Adhesive agent has been newly applied.


This bulletin replaces Service Bulletin Cat .15,044/87. Please discard Service Bulletin Cat.15,044/87 and file this bulletin in the appropriate category.



If you encounter the weatherstrip problem mentioned above, replace the original weatherstrip with a modified one.

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

Install the weatherstrip to the door sash by using adhesive agent and self-adhesive tape. Replacement should be performed in the following order:



1. Apply 50 mm of silicon adhesive agent on the rear-upper portion of the door sash as shown.



2. Install the weatherstrip tightly only on the front and rear sides of the door sash.



3. Remove the protective paper from the adhesive tape installed on the weatherstrip and then place the weatherstrip on the corner of the sash.



4. Install the weatherstrip on the sash. Be careful that the weatherstrip does not slip out of the corner. Press the weatherstrip where the adhesive tape is applied after installation.
NOTE:
Application of the self-adhesive tape prevents the weatherstrip from slipping out of the door sash, but the door should not be opened or shut for 24 hours after installation of the weatherstrip.
