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 rear door is shown removed. |
