DEFLECTORS
A waterproof deflector is used to seal the door
inner panel and prevent entry of water into body.
The deflector is secured by a string loaded sealing
material along both front and rear edges and by the
application of waterproof sealing tape at front and
rear lower corners. Whenever work is performed
