DOOR SEALS, ASSEMBLY OVERVIEW (CONVERTIBLE) 

In series production, door seals have a sealant applied to them, and they are then placed on door flange and

rolled on. 

NOTE:

z

If they are removed sealant will spread on the inside of seal and flanks will 
be bent out slightly. If seal is then reinstalled there is no guarantee that it 
will fit tightly and seal.  

z

Therefore each seal which is removed completely should be replaced by a 
"tap-on" seal.  

z

If a seal has been partially removed, squeeze the sides together before 
refitting.
