Seal Rubber

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Subaru WRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the hood seal rubber while pulling the rubber. Be careful not to tear the rubber.
    CAUTION:
    • Be careful not to damage the surface of headlight assembly during operation. 
    • Do not reuse hood seal rubber. 
  2. Remove the double-sided tape remaining on the headlight assembly side, then clean the adhesive surface.
    CAUTION:

    Do not use any solvents that may damage the headlight assembly lenses. 

    NOTE:

    If even a slight amount of double-sided tape remains on the adhesive surface, it may lead to improper adhesion. 

  3. Degrease the mounting surface of the hood seal rubber.
  4. Attach the hood seal rubber.
    NOTE:

    Attach the hood seal rubber so that the double-sided tape does not detach from the headlight assembly. 

    1. Make the hood seal rubber come into contact with the ribs.
    2. When attaching the hood seal rubber, make sure that the ribs fit in the cutout portions.
      NOTE:
      • Attach it in the arrow direction. 
      • Make sure that the hood seal rubber does not ride on the corner (a) of the attaching surface. 
    3. Attach the hood seal rubber so that it comes in between the two ribs.
