Vapor barrier, replacing

12.93

The purpose of vapor barrier is to seal off the passenger compartment from noise, water penetration and drafts. The replacement vapor barrier is supplied with self-adhesive surfaces. Vapor barrier must always be installed carefully and without creases. When it is replaced, the mating surfaces on the door must be cleaned and the new vapor barrier installed from top to bottom without any creases. If adhesion is insufficient, use double-sided adhesive tape AKL 434 019 25 or AKL 440 025. Adhesive surface: shaded area CAUTION! Part numbers are listed for reference only.

Note: Scratches in paint caused by cutting the vapor barrier must be repaired with touch up paint to prevent corrosion. - Pull vapor barrier down only as far as needed. CAUTION! DO NOT remove the vapor barrier completely. This will increase the chances of a water leak.

During reinstallation of the vapor barrier, there MUST NOT be any wrinkles in the barrier where it contacts the adhesive. This will cause water to leak onto the door panel and into the vehicle.
