Replacing weatherstrip for trunk lid, S70

Background: Early S70 models have a spacer on each side under the trunk lid weatherstrip, so the molding can be lifted and seals the lid more effectively. The new type of weatherstrip is supplied as a replacement part with inbuilt spacers inside the sealant part of the molding. When replacing the molding, older spacer models should be removed from the bodywork at the trunk lid-opening two front corners, according to the procedure below (so the lid will not be deformed when closed).
