No tucky seals on Civics folks



Custom Search

Apparently over at the civic board sedans (and I'm guessing coupes too) are having problems when people tuck the seals.

I'm guessing that bottom seal isn't coming up and it requires the door panel to be removed and seal heated and flipped back into place to fix the problem.

So no tucky tucky or make sure you get that bottom seal flipped.

exactly....I tried doing one without taking off the door panels one time, on a two door, tucked the rubbers, chick came back a week later, yep, the bottom rubber didn't pop up, the window was rolling up all goofy, ending up taking off the panel anyway, which is what I normally do! krazy.gif

I do it on rare occasions. If I do its on vehicles that only have one flap and its tall...

I just show them when they pick up the car/truck. I just tell them roll it all the way down first, and if the gasket needs a little help up help it. Usually their the GM trucks etc.... and the customers arent scared of, or dumbfounded by the concept why its tucked.

But like I said.... I rarley do this. I am a panel puller evilgrin.gif

The problem is apparently it must be hard to untuck the bottom seal. So tinters are giving back the vehicles with the top one untucked and the bottom one tucked still.

the new body style civics they need to come off. the previous style before that you can tuck them, and untuck them with a hook tool dunno.gif

these cars with double seals dont take well to tucking, Shrink down under and pull gasket back

Just remove the panels....they are real easy and takes mostly 3-5 mins max at most!!!! Civic sedans have 2 screws/ panel while coupes have 4 screws/ panel on the newer models.

I had that happen on a new civic the other day. It was on a back rollup. It was squeeling like a hizzo when rolled up adn down. I knew what the problem was right off the bat. took it back to the shop and removed the panel and sure nuff about 5 inch section of the bottom seal was still tucked.

I am usually REAL careful when tucking the top seal becuse i knew this could happen. I will probably pop the panel on the next ones i do, since they are so easy to take off anyways.






For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
