Removal
1. Separate "butt" ends of weatherstrip at front
of compartment opening.

weatherstrip from its cemented foundation in
gutter around entire perimeter of front com-
partment and remove weatherstrip.
Installation
1. Remove excess cement from gutter around
entire front compartment opening to insure
a smooth cementing surface.
2. Using a brush, apply approved sealer along
the base and around the entire perimeter of
gutter.
NOTE: Apply a sufficient amount of weather-
strip cement along lower inboard corner of
gutter so that after installation of weatherstrip,
cement will spread and fill complete area.
3. Center weatherstrip at area between lid hinges
using color or tape identification mark at
center of weatherstrip as guide.
4. Using a flat-bladed tool, such as a putty knife
with rounded corners, insert weatherstrip into
gutter across top, down sides and across top
front of compartment opening in that order.
Roll or press weatherstrip to insure a good
seal and proper retention of weatherstrip.

ends to form a "butt" joint at front of opening.
Using a brush, apply weatherstrip cement on
both ends of new weatherstrip and secure ends
together to form a matching joint.
6. Allow sufficient time for cement to set before
closing front compartment lid.
