Removal Procedure
- Start at the joint at
bottom of door opening and pull the weatherstrip away from the door opening
flange.
- Work around the door opening and remove the weatherstrip.
Installation Procedure
- Position the paint dot
in the upper corner of the center pillar and firmly seat the weather strip.
Important: One paint dot on the weatherstrip indicates RH weatherstrip starting
point, and two paint dots on the weatherstrip indicates LH weatherstrip starting
point.
- Working downward along the rear edge, install the weatherstrip
on the door opening flange keeping slight tension on the weather strip to
prevent any wrinkles from forming in the trim lip.
- From the center pillar corner working forward, install the weatherstrip
along the roof rail and the window-pillar flange.
- Even out any excess weather strip along the rocker
panel.
- Using a plastic trim stick or equivalent, position the close-out
lip over the interior trim around the entire door opening, or use a pull-string
under the close-out lip to reposition the lip.
