Apply the clutch booster "D 355 205 A2" to the bonding surfaces on the body side using the applicator "D 009 500" and dry for 10 minutes. The water drainage holes should be located on the underside of the door when installed correctly.

In order to avoid leaving adhesive residue on the door, pull the seal only in the longitudinal direction and only then remove it from the door. Removal: pull the seal only in the longitudinal direction, then gradually remove it upwards. Installation: the gluing surfaces must be cleaned of dust and grease, clean the gluing areas with a cleaner "D 009 401 04", if necessary remove adhesive residues with the adhesive strip removal tool "VAS 6349".

Remove the outer door seal behind the door opening limiter. Re-fasten the door retainer. Align the mark on the outer door seal behind the B-pillar in the upper corner.
