Figure 183. Rubber body seals: 1, 3 - windshield opening seal; 2 - air intake box seal; 4 - door glass guide groove seal; 5 - front door opening seal; 6 - rear door window opening seal; 7 - rear door opening seal; 8 - side window opening seal; 9 - lower seal of the lowering glass
The seals 5 of the front door opening are made of sponge rubber in the form of a tube to which a plastic trim edge with a metal perforated frame is welded. The frame ensures the fastening of the seal on the flange of the door opening. The inner hollow part of the seal is connected to the atmosphere by holes in the sponge rubber, located every 300 mm. The openings of the windshield, rear windows and sidewalls are sealed with rubber seals 1, 3, 6, 8, having special tongues to ensure a tight fit. The air intake box, as well as the opening of the rear door are sealed with rubber seals 2 and 7, respectively, which are held on the flanges of the body by metal perforated frames of the seals.
The seals of the 4 guide grooves of the lowering door windows are made of a special profile rubber, on the sealing surface of which pile is glued to reduce the friction force of the windows. The lower seals of the 9 windows are also covered with pile to eliminate the curling and creaking of the seal when lowering and raising the windows.
When removing and installing seals with a metal frame, do not allow the frame to be crushed or corrugations to form on the seals.
Welded seams of body elements against moisture, dirt and corrosion protection are sealed with plastisol D-4A after priming the body. Welded seams after replacing body parts during repairs are coated with plastisol on both sides. Plastisol hardens during drying of the body after painting.
