- Separation of seal after pressing destroys the adhesive layer.
NOTE:
After being pressed on gently, seal can be pulled off again up to 3 times. Do not dirty adhesive area.
Clean bonding surfaces on paint with adhesive cleaner (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Service).
Suspend seal (1) with open lip pointing inwards over door.

- Position seal with color coding on door window frame at top rear (B-pillar). Contact point is located at the bottom.
- Pull protective film (liner) off seal in stages.
- Gently press seal without stretching up to start of positioning aids.
- Check positioning of seal, correct if necessary (sag max. 30 mm).
- Firmly press seal vertically onto bonding surface.
