Removing

Note

The core of the window slot outer seal is a metal insert.

If it is bent or distorted, the window slot outer seal cannot be straightened out anymore. It will remain “wavy”.

Therefore, the window slot outer seal must be pulled off and pressed on evenly, without bending or distorting it.

Removal and installation are only described for the left window slot outer seal. Removal and installation of the right window slot outer seal are similar.
