First Steps
20. Should open seal condition exist, try
to massage the gasket to make sure it
is seated into the channel.
IMPORTANT
If the condition still exists, try heating the
gasket with a hair dryer with the door
closed. Use Caution and be careful not
to damage the interior door panel or
gasket by applying too much heat.
21. If the open seal condition still exists, it
may be necessary to flip the gasket.
In this case, remove the gasket from
the door by pulling it out. Rotate the
gasket half a turn (180 degrees).
Reinstall the gasket by inserting the
corners first then work towards the
middle assuring that it is fully seated
in the channel.
22. Remove the toe grille cover
corresponding with the door hinge
bracket from the toe grille and attach
the opposite toe grille cover that was
saved earlier over the opening on the
side corresponding with the toe grille
support. (See Figures A & B.)
