Important: When reusing the window weatherstrip, the flange mounting area (1)
must be pinched together in order to counteract the splaying effect when removed.
Use a thumb and an index finger in order to pinch the carrier (2)
back together. Work from one end of the weatherstrip to the other.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
