Installation
1. Clean out-gutter around entire rear compart-
ment opening to provide a clean cementing

insert weatherstrip into gutter starting with
one end of weatherstrip at rear center of gutter
and working completely around gutter.
4. If a new weatherstrip is being installed, trim
end to form a butt joint at rear center of

erstrip
adhesive

weatherstrip and outer surface of gutter com-
pletely around opening to assure a watertight
seal.
