Rear lid seal

During production a sealant is applied to the rear lid seals, the

seal is then placed on the body flange and rolled on.

Note

♦

When seals are removed, the sealant will spread to the inside

of the seal and the flanks will be bent out slightly. If the seal is

then refitted, a leak-free tight seal is not guaranteed.

♦

Therefore each seal which is removed completely should be

replaced by a so-called “tap-on” seal.

♦

If a seal has been partially removed, squeeze the sides to‐

gether before installing.
