Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Removing and installing door inner seal
| During production, a sealant is applied to the door inner
seals, which are then placed on the door flange and rolled on. |
 Note
- When removing the seal, the sealant is distributed across the
inside of the seal. The sides are bent upwards slightly when this is
being done. If the seal is then refitted, sealing and firm seating
are no longer guaranteed.
- Therefore, each seal that is completely removed must be
renewed with a so-called “tap-on seal”.
- If a seal has been partially removed, squeeze sides of seal
together before installing
- Removal and installation are described only for the left door
inner seal. The right side is similar.
- For reasons of clarity, the front door is shown in removed
state
