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.

- 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.
