  Inner Door Panel  

SS Door Attach Strips

Attachment strips are used on SS Inner Door models 

only; plastic inner doors have this feature molded 
into them. Strips also have the boss for the screw to 
secure the inner and outer door panels.

Attachment Strips Removal

1.  Remove and separate the inner and outer door 

panels.

2.  Remove the front control console or top control 

panel.

3.  Remove the two T15 Torx screws on the side 

attach strips.

4.  Slide the strip inward to remove.

5.  To remove the top attach strip, slide the strip 

down after the top console and side attach 
strips have been removed.

  Door Gasket

1.  Remove the door.

2.  Place the door on a protected surface to prevent 

damage.

3.  On plastic inner door models, slide the gasket 

either direction to remove. The door does not 
need to be separated on plastic inner doors.

4.  On SS Inner Door models, the inner door panel 

has the door gasket riveted to the panel. The 
inner door panel must be replaced to replace 
the door gasket.
