Removal Procedure
- Open the lift gate.
- Pull the lift gate weatherstrip from the lift gate opening pinch-weld
flange by starting at the joint at the bottom of the lift gate opening.
- Note the position of this joint for installation.
- Clean all the adhesive from the lift gate opening pinch-weld flange using
GM P/N 8984 adhesive remover or equivalent.
Installation Procedure
- Install the lift gate weatherstrip over the flange area
in position noted in the removal procedure.
- Press the seal over the flange firmly to seat.
Important: On weatherstrips being reinstalled a small plastic trim tool will help in spooning
the weatherstrip over the lift gate trim.

ripcord around the lift gate opening. This process will bring the seal lip over the
lift gate trim.
