    Important: A mastic/sealer/glue is inside of the new sliding door opening weatherstrip. If you are using a new sliding door opening weatherstrip, DO NOT use weatherstrip adhesive.

    If you are using the old sliding door weatherstrip, use weatherstrip adhesive.

  1. Install the sliding door opening weatherstrip to the sliding door pinchweld flange.
  2. Align the locator dot to the upper front corner and upper rear corners of the sliding door pinch-weld flange:
    3. • The pink dot indicates a long wheel base.
    • The yellow dot indicates a short wheel base.
  3. Install the remainder of the sliding door opening weatherstrip.
  4. Roll the weatherstrip onto the flange as indicated by directional arrows, beginning at the weatherstrip joint.

    Inspect the sliding door opening weatherstrip for creases or wrinkles.

  8. Pull the end of the tear strip from the joint along the entire length of the sliding door opening weatherstrip.
