The door rubber sealer is made of molded latex foam
with a smooth rubber skin on the outside.
Plastic retainers are used to retain the rubber sealer
to the door below the belt line. Barbs on the retainer
depress when inserted in the holes and spread when
fully inserted. Above the belt line, the sealer is retained
in a channel formed in the upper door frame.
Maintenance of Rubber Sealers
Cold weather may cause the rubber sealer to harden
and lose resiliency. This may cause the door to loosen in
its opening, resulting in noise. When servicing, use a
dampened cloth to clean rubber sealer. Remove dirt
from all points where the rubber sealer contacts the
body. Apply AMC Silicone Lubricant, or equivalent, to
sealer.
CAUTION:
Do not use graphite, brake fluid, or wax on
rubber sealer.
Replacement
Replacement rubber sealers are coated with powder to
prevent sticking during storage. Remove powder with a
dampened cloth before installation.
