Rubber Seal Question

malvern_man · 07-31-2022, 09:53 AM

Is the rubber seal at the rear of the engine supposed to be in 3 separate pieces or should it be 3 pieces in one continuous length. Mine just doesn't look right.

The longer center seal ends are supposed to be inside the left and right seals.
Must have been a few lazy slackers not doing their job correctly during assembly and at your dealership for not catching it. Shame on them.
But the good news is you can easily fix it yourself.

Thanks for the reply, I had a feeling it wasn't right. I'll have a look at it later.
