Inner Door Seal







Inner Door Seal

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

The sealant on the inside will spread when the seal is removed. The sides will bend up slightly. 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.

Removing and installing is described only for the left inner door seal. Removing and installing the right inner door seal is identical.
