- Take a measurement between the inner and outer hem flange at three locations. Refer to the illustration above. The right front door is shown; the rear door is typical.
- Close the door.
- Wearing gloves, pull on the outer door skin at the three locations shown until the measurement is 3 mm (1/8 in) larger than the original measurement.
- Replace the reveal molding. Refer to the Reveal Molding Replacement (SI Document ID #533513 Front Door; Rear Door ID #533514).
- Install a new door glass. Refer to Window Replacement--Front Door (SI Document #512702, Front Door; Rear Door #512703).
