Front Door Weatherstrip Replacement

NOTE:
- Take care not to scratch the door.
- Use a clip remover to remove the clips.







1. At the A-pillar, remove the detent rod mounting bolt (A).
2. Detach the clips (B, C, D), then remove the door weatherstrip (E).
3. Install the weatherstrip in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Check the clips for damage or stress-whitening, and replace them with new ones.
- Make sure the weatherstrip is installed in the holder (F) securely.
- Apply medium strength liquid thread lock to detent rod mounting bolt before installation.
- Test-drive and check for wind noise.
