AC Housing Installation

Particular care must be taken when mounting the air conditioner on the inner side of the bulkhead to ensure the seals are fitted correctly. The butyl beading on the seal provides a tight seal with the bulkhead. When assembling, make sure the repair instructions are followed precisely. Failure to adhere to the procedure could result in interior water leakage.

In the same way as for the seals, particular care must be taken when installing the filtered air duct and the filter compartment covers. Secondary (unfiltered) air may be drawn in from the engine compartment if the seal between the duct components is defective.
