Condition/Concern

Recommendation/Instructions

If you encounter a vehicle with the above concern, follow the procedure below:

Important: Be careful to not damage the molding when removing.

With the molding removed, visually inspect for wrinkles greater than 1 mm (0.04 in) in the sealant running along the location of the molding.
Remove the wrinkles by using a sharp blade or scraper to gently shave the wrinkles out of the sealant.

Important: When shaving the sealant, exercise great caution to not scratch the paint around the surrounding areas.

After shaving the wrinkles, clean all surfaces of any debris.

apply a small bead of weather-strip adhesive

After removing all the debris from the location, apply a small bead of weather-strip adhesive along the whole length of the channel.

Important: Do not use excessive amounts of weather-strip adhesive. Too much could cause the adhesive to become visible after the molding is reinstalled.

Important: If there is a hole in the location of the shaved area, be sure to fill the hole with weather-strip adhesive to eliminate the chance of leaks.

Reinstall the ditch molding. Refer to Roof Panel Joint Finish Molding Replacement in SI.
