Tailgate Weatherstrip Replacement

NOTE: Have an assistant help you when removing and installing the tailgate weatherstrip.

1. Open the tailgate half-way, and hold it.

2. On both sides of the tailgate weatherstrip (A), detach the clips with a clip remover, and release the double-sided adhesive tapes (B).





3. Remove the tailgate weatherstrip by pulling out it.

4. Scrape off the remaining double-sided adhesive tapes from the weatherstrip and the tailgate, and clean the weatherstrip and the tailgate surface with isopropyl alcohol. Attach the new double-sided adhesive tapes to the weatherstrip.

5. Align the weatherstrip with both edges of the tailgate, and install the weatherstrip along the edge of the tailgate. Make sure there are no wrinkles in the weatherstrip.

6. Install the clips in both sides.

7. Check for water leaks.
