FULL-METAL DOOR WEATHERSTRIP SEALSÐYJ
The door weatherstrip seals are molded latex foam
with a smooth rubber reinforcement layer on the out-
side (Fig. 17).
Plastic retainers are used to retain the seal on the
door panel below the door beltline (Fig. 17). Above
the beltline, the seal is retained in a channel formed
in the door upper frame.
The beltline weatherstrip seals are retained within
the
door panels by spring-clip retainers (Fig. 17).
The door frame glass channel is retained within
the door frame by the press-fit between it and the
frame.
WEATHERSTRIP SEAL MAINTENANCE
Cold temperatures can cause rubber seals to
harden and lose resiliency. This possibly will cause
the door to loosen in the body opening and result in
noise. When servicing, use a dampened cloth to clean
the rubber seals. Remove the foreign material from
all areas where the rubber seal contacts the body
panels. Apply silicone lubricant to the seals after
they are cleaned.
CAUTION: Do not apply graphite, brake fluid, or
wax to rubber seals.
Replacement rubber weatherstrip seals are coated
with powder to prevent adhesion to the container
during storage. Before installation, remove all the
powder with a cloth dampened with a general pur-
pose adhesive removal solution.
