Door Seals







Door seals are equipped at factory with sealant, applied to door flange and then rolled on.

NOTE:
- During removal of seal, sealant is distributed on interior side of seal and flanks are bent up easily. If seal is re-installed, 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.
