SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Pull the run rubber away from the body-less than 2 inches (50 mm) - so you can clean behind it.

CAUTION: Don't pull the run rubber too much.

If the run rubber is pulled back more than 2 inches (50 mm) in may be permanently deformed.




2. Remove the attachment tape shown in Figure 4.

NOTE: Early model vehicles may not have attachment tape. It may not have been installed at the factory.




3. Use a clean cloth and isopropyl alcohol to thoroughly clean the:

^ Back of the run rubber

^ Body panel

^ Run rubber seam

IMPORTANT: Make sure to clean thoroughly and completely.

Poor cleaning may cause a reoccurrence (come-back) of the incident.




4. Apply 3M Automotive Adhesion Promoter to the:

A. Body panel

B. Run rubber seam

C. Back of the run rubber

3M Automotive Adhesion Promoter is listed in the parts information.
