INTRODUCTION
This bulletin announces availability of a revised trunk weatherstrip and rubber stoppers designed to absorb impact and prevent contact or in rare occurrences, damage to the rear combination lamps when closing the trunk lid.
COUNTERMEASURE IN PRODUCTION
The new weatherstrip and rubber trunk stoppers were incorporated into production starting with the following VINs:
| Weatherstrip | E*600523 |

PART INFORMATION
A liner was added into the weatherstrip for increased resistance to crush and the trunk stopper’s overall height was increased by 2.7mm to minimize the chance of trunk lid contact with the combination lamps.

| Stopper Trunk Lower | 57533FE040 |
SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION
To remove the trunk stopper, use a plastic trim tool to lift up and release one of the retaining tangs. Once you have one side released, hold the one side of the stopper away from the body then release the opposite tang with the plastic trim tool as shown in the photos below.
Release One Tang
Tang Released
Hold Onto Stopper and Release the Opposite Side Tang
Grasp and pull up on the old weatherstrip to release and remove it from the trunk opening body flange. Leave any adhesive remaining on the flange in place to help secure the new weatherstrip.
Start the installation with the seam aligned with the striker, arrow and notch towards the rear bumper, then proceed to either the right or left working your way around the trunk opening and back to the seam. As you work the new weatherstrip into position, make sure it is fully seated onto the trunk opening body flange evenly with no high spots (which will result when the weatherstrip is not fully seated). Position the inner lip over the trunk lining trim as shown in the photo below, right.
As an extra “check” to confirm the weatherstrip is installed properly, the white dot on the outside must face the rear window.
NOTES:
- To avoid damaging the new weatherstrip, DO NOT use any tool other than your hands (no rubber mallets or similar tools) to fully seat it onto the body flange.
- In the event combination lamp replacement is needed, refer to TSB 12-145-13R for revised retaining nut and sealing gasket information.
