Rear Lid Seal

The seal on the rear lid is equipped at the factory with a sealant, applied to body flange and then rolled on.

NOTE:

When the seal is removed, the sealant spreads on the inner side of the seal and the sides bend up slightly. If the seal is reinstalled, the sealing ability and secure fit cannot be guaranteed.

For this reason, every completely removed seal must be replaced with a so-called "hammer-stroke seal" .

For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed together before installation.
