Rear Lid Seal Information

Rear Lid Seal Information

The seal on the rear lid is equipped at the factory with a sealant, applied to body 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 seal, that has been removed completely, must be replaced with a "hammer-stroke seal".

• For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed together before installation.
