Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Removing and installing rear lid seal
In the factory a sealant is applied to the rear lid seal, the seal is fitted to the body flange and then rolled on.
Note
- When the seal is removed, the sealant on the inside of the seal will be spread and the flanks will be bent out slightly. If the seal is then refitted, sealing and firm seating are no longer guaranteed.
- Therefore, each seal that is completely removed must be replaced with a seal known as a “tap-on seal”.
- If a seal has been partially removed, squeeze sides of seal together before installing
