Rear Lid Seal







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.

Removing





- Pull off rear lid seal - 1 - from body flange.

Installation





- Align rear lid seal - 1 - with vulcanized point - arrow - to top center.
