Some customers may comment that the molding on the rear door window opening is loose on the right or the left rear door.

A lack of adhesive between the window run channel and the outer belt sealing strip may cause this condition.

Replace the rear door glass outer belt molding sealing strip using the following procedure.

1. Lower the door glass.
2. Pull out and upward on the sealing strip end to unhook it from the door frame.
3. If necessary, with a trim stick, push up on the belt sealing strip to remove it from the door.
4. With a plastic trim stick, pull out the door glass run channel from the rear of the door.



5. Install the new outer belt sealing strip on the door. The picture above shows the back side of the new molding.



6. Install the plastic tab into the slot in the door as seen in the illustration above.
7. Install the run channel and return the glass to the closed position.
