Outer Door Seal







Outer Door Seal

Remove protective foil only immediately prior to assembly. Processing temperature approx. 68° F (20 °C).

Removing

- Pull off outer door seal - 1 - from door - 2 -.





Installing

- Remove any adhesive residue still present using the radial disc for the Adhesive Strip Remover (VAS 6349)

- Clean the adhesive surface with Adhesive Remover (D 002 000 10) immediately before attaching the outer door seal.

Adhesion surfaces must be free of dust and grease and there must be no residual adhesive present.

- Vulcanized point - arrow b - of outer door seal - 1 - is located in center area of door entry sill.

- Pull off foil cover and apply seal onto door in upper radius - arrow a -. Do not stretch outer door seal excessively so that the seal is not too long at the end.





- Press the entire seal adhesive surface - 3 - well all around onto the door - 1 - using the Application Roller (3356).

- In this way, the seal is pressed to the side - arrow a - so that the Roller (3356) comes into direct contact with the seal contact surface.

The force - arrow b - of the application roller only really reaches the adhesive surface - 2 - as described above.

- If the seal has become too long, then cut it back to the corresponding length and press the joint on well.

- If the seal - 3 - comes loose again in small areas, press these on again using the Roller (3356).

To ensure the outer door seal does not loosen or slide again, the door must not be closed for 2 hours.
