spread the sealing compound under the rubber seal.
Fig. S.5 shows the method of applying Seelastik sealing compound between the channel lip and body
flange, using an Expandite pressure applicator gun, if possible, fitted with a special 3/16 in. (4.5 mm.)

from the rubber seal so that the flange is lifted over the metal edge of the window opening.
