NOTE:
- Take care not to scratch the door.
- Use a clip remover to remove the clips.




1. At the A-pillar, remove the door checker mounting bolt (A).
2. Detach the clips (B, C), then remove the door weatherstrip (D).
3. Install the weatherstrip in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Check for damaged or stress-whitened clips, and replace them with new ones.
- Push the clips into place securely.
- Make sure the weatherstrip is installed in the holder (E) securely.
- Apply liquid thread lock to the door checker mounting bolt before installation.
- Check for water leaks.
- Test-drive and check for wind noise.
