Air And Water Leaks

Close door and trunk apertures where leak is suspected.







Apply spray tracing powder around suspected weatherstrip leak area. Open the aperture.
Note any break or variation in the trace line where probable leak may exist.

Note: Spray seams from outside of the vehicle to highlight suspected cracks.

Check aperture gaps and adjust as necessary.
Fit close tolerance rubber strip if necessary to pack out/support existing rubbers.
Fit new aperture rubbers if packing is impractical.
