Rear Lid Seal







Rear Lid Seal

Rear lid seal is equipped at the factory with sealant, applied to body flange and then rolled on.

When the seal is removed, the sealant is spread on the inner side of the seal and the sides are bent up slightly. If the seal is re-installed, the sealing performance and proper seating are no longer guaranteed.

For this reason, replace every seal that is completely replaced with a "hammer-stroke seal".

For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed together before installation.
