Insert protective strip
Read and observe and on page 52 first.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the doors can be equipped with one protec-
tive strip. This moves out when opening the door and protects the central area
of the door edge from damage. When the door closes the protective strip re-
tracts.
Removing and installing the protection strip
The protective strip may be replaced if damaged.
›
Remove the protective strip from the tie rod in the door in the direction of
arrow » Fig. 39 .
›
Insert» Fig. 40 a new protective strip in groove in direction of arrow.
›
Open the door approximately 15 cm wide and push in the strip. Otherwise, it
is not possible to close the door and there is a risk of damage to the strip and
the door.
If any part of an broken protective strip remains in the mounting, seek assis-
tance from a specialist garage.
WARNINGWhen handling the protective strip, exercise extreme caution to avoid
pinching of fingers or other body parts by the door - there is danger of in-
jury!
CAUTION
Do not open the vehicle door too hastily or abruptly. If the door is swung too
strongly against an obstacle, the strip cannot prevent damage - there is a risk
of damage to the strip and the door.
Note
A new bottle of sealant can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Parts.Child safety lockFig. 41
