Install Vent Window Rubber

Instructions

1. Ally the back of the replacement rubber seal with the flange of the vent window frame. Make sure the side of the rubber seal marked "Left" is facing the left side of the window frame.


The rubber running encompassing the frame of your vent window keeps wind, shower and bugs from entering the passenger compartment of your vehicle. In period, exposure to sunlight and other absent elements causes the rubber seal to come brittle and crack. A certain letter you essential to transform the rubber seal is the fixed whistle caused by wind bypassing the seal. When you create hearing that sound, you Testament first step to note immature cracks forming in the rubber.


Install the two screws through the back of the frame and into the rubber seal, if you are replacing the seal on a vehicle other than a sedan.


2. Push the rubber seal onto the frame with your fingers at the location with the mounting screws. If replacing the rubber seal on a sedan, push the rubber seal onto the window frame with your fingers. Push the seal with a small flathead screwdriver if the seal will not seat with finger pressure.


3. Slide the small screwdriver along the frame, making sure the rubber seal sits firmly in place as you move along the frame.


4. Overlap the two ends of the rubber seal. Cut the rubber seal where the two ends cross with a utility knife.


5. Press along the rubber seal to ensure it seats in place before installing the vent window back into the vehicle.
