Rear Door Weatherstrip Replacement

NOTE:

- Put on gloves to protect your hand.
- Take care not to scratch the door.
- Use a clip remover to remove the clips.

1. Detach the clips (A, B), release the double-sided adhesive tape (C), then remove the door weatherstrip (D) from the holder (E).





2. 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.
- Scrape off the remaining double-sided adhesive tape from the weatherstrip and the rear door, and clean the weatherstrip and rear door with isopropyl alcohol. Attach new double-sided adhesive tape to the weatherstrip.
- Make sure the weatherstrip is installed in the holder securely.
- Check for water leaks.
- Test-drive the vehicle, and check for wind noise.
