Removal Procedure
- Pull the sliding door
opening weather-strip from the sliding door pinch-weld flange.
- Clean any adhesive form the pinch-weld flange.
Installation Procedure
Important:
• | A mastic/sealer/glue is inside of the new, front door opening
weather-strip. If a new front door opening weather-strip is used, weather-strip
adhesive should not be used. |
• | If an old front door opening weather-strip is reused, weather-strip
adhesive should be used. |
- Install the sliding door opening weather-strip to the sliding door pinch-weld
flange.
- Align the locator dot to the upper front corner and upper rear
corners of the sliding door pinch-weld flange:
- Install the remainder of the sliding door opening weather-strip
by rolling the weather-strip onto the flange. Ensure that the corners are
fully seated. Do not stretch the front door opening weather-strip during
installation.
- Join the loose end of
the front door opening weather-strip to the seated end of the front door opening
weather-strip.
Important: Removal of the tear strip should not pull the inner lip of the sliding
door opening weather-strip out over the trim. Spooning of the sliding door
opening weather-strip may be necessary in order to complete installation.
- Grasp the end of the tear strip at the joint and pull the entire length
of the sliding door opening weather-strip.
- Inspect the sliding door opening weather-strip for creases or
wrinkles.
