- Work from one end of the sealing strip to the other.
- Position the inner belt sealing strip over the flange of the door inner panel.
- Adjust seal strip gap (a) at the division post to 1.0 mm (0.04 in) maximum.
- Press downward to engage the sealing strip the entire length of the door.
- Install the door trim panel. Refer to Rear Side Door Trim Panel Replacement .
IMPORTANT:
When reusing the inner belt sealing strip, the flange mounting area must be pinched together in order to counteract the splaying effect when removed. Use a thumb and an index finger to pinch the carrier (3) back together.
