86 21... Installing seal for rear lid and side lid: Notes

NOTE: The following text describes how to install the seal for the rear lid as an example. Proceed in the same way for the side lids.
Removing old seal:
Open lid. Grip seal piping with both hands and pull seal off hood ridge. Remove old seal over lid.

Push seal piping (1) by hand onto hood ridge (2). Using a rubber hammer, gently tap seal piping (1) as far as it will go onto hood ridge (2). Make sure piping (1) is evenly positioned especially in radii of hood ridge.
