Front Door Weatherstrip Replacement
NOTE:
- Put on gloves to protect your hands.
- Take care not to scratch the door.
- Take care not to damage the front upper corner hook and the rear upper corner clip (black) because they are not available separately.
- Use a clip remover to detach the clips.
- Remove the door weatherstrip (A).
- Remove the door checker mounting bolt (B) at the A-pillar.
- Detach the clips (C, D).
- Release the rib (E), and detach the clip (F).
- Release the weatherstrip from the holder (G) on the door sash.
- Install the weatherstrip in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- If the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, replace them with new ones.
- Push the clips into place securely.
- Make sure the door weatherstrip is installed in the holder securely.
- Apply medium strength liquid thread lock to the door checker mounting bolt before installation.
- Check for water leaks (see step 8 ).
