Front Door Weatherstrip: Service and Repair

Door Weatherstrip:

DOOR WEATHERSTRIP
On four door models the weatherstrip is installed by pushing it over the fence, making sure that contact is made with the fence around corners and clinching it tightly around entire perimeter to avoid water leaks, puckering and stretching. Trim ends should overlap 6.3mm (0.25 inch).

When the glass up-stop, roof rail weatherstrip and glass are properly adjusted, the outer lip of weatherstrip will seal along the top outer edge of the glass and the inner lip of weatherstrip will seal along the top inside of glass.
