proper sealing.
LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS
All applicable exterior and interior vehicle operat­
ing mechanisms should be:
© Inspected.
® Cleaned.
© All the pivoting/sliding contact areas on the mech­
anisms should then be lubricated.

door weatherstrip seals should be lubricated with sil­
icone lubricant spray (Fig. 8).
