3X5" Card Test

1. Insert a 3x5" card between the door and the weatherstrip at the base of the A-pillar with the door closed.

2. Run the card up along the A-pillar.

If the card easily moves at any location along the A-pillar, then the sealing contact between the door and the weatherstrip is insufficient and the door should be adjusted to increase the sealing contact. This test can only be used to evaluate the A-pillar sealing contact at the margin. To evaluate sealing contact of the primary and secondary weatherstrips, a Chalk Test must be performed.
