STORAGE COMPARTMENT
DOORS
The high-density gaskets used on the exterior
storage compartments are designed to provide a
more positive seal against dust and weather.
Sometimes this seal firmness can inhibit
complete latching of the compartment doors if
they are simply ‘dropped shut’ or closing force is
applied only to the center of the door.
