Card Test

A. Open the door and insert a business card (0.2 MM thickness) between the door and the weather-strip at the base of the A-pillar. Close the door.





B. Slide the business card up along the A-pillar.

^ If the card slides easily at any location along the A-pillar, the sealing contact between the door is insufficient and requires adjustment. Proceed to "DOOR ADJUSTMENT".

^ If there is consistent resistance, proceed to the "White Grease Test".

Note
^ The card test can only be used to evaluate the A-pillar sealing contact. Use the following "White Grease Test" to evaluate the rest of the weather-strip.
