- Lay felt piece onto the inside of the inner door opener, and mark with a pen or suitable marker (Figure 1).
Important:
The pointed part of the felt piece must point forward in the driving direction.
- Apply glue on the marked area of the inner door panel and install the felt piece.
- Reinstall the pull handle, inner door cover, and the door opener rod.
Important:
Avoid damaging the felt piece by carefully pushing the door opener rod through the slot in the felt (Figure 1, arrow).
