White Grease Test

A. Roll down windows and adequately cover all interior surfaces to prevent contact with grease.

B. Thoroughly and evenly spray the sheet metal surface of the body that seals against the weather-strip on the door.

Note
^ It is recommended that you use KAR Products # 78620 "Multi-purpose white grease (aerosol spray)" or equivalent.

^ Do not spray the weather-strip.

C. Using only the door handle, very gently close the door. This will prevent over-slam which could result in an inaccurate reading.





D. Open the door and measure the width of the grease pattern that is left along the length of the weather-strip (check for any unevenness in width).

^ If 4 mm or more, sealing contact is adequate if door closing effort is acceptable. Clean grease from vehicle.

^ If 3 mm or less, sealing contact is insufficient. Clean grease from vehicle and proceed to "DOOR ADJUSTMENT".
