Replacing the tailgate seal
If dust or moisture gets inside, despite the fact that the tailgate is installed correctly, the rubber seal is the cause. It may be broken or torn:
1. Remove the rubber seal.
2. Before installation, check if there is any deformation or damage.
3. The seal is placed in the grooves in this way (you can use a plastic hammer), so that its joint is located directly in the center of the groove of the upper removable part. If the seal does not lie tightly, without tension, then cut it to the required length and tighten it.
4. If necessary, glue the seal joints.
5. To maintain the seal, you can use glycerin or a special care product.
