The sealing lip must not sit loosely on the body opening.
The tabs must be completely engaged.
If the pretension is inadequate, seal the connection point between the body and the bracket with silicone adhesive, for example. Refer to the Parts Information.

NOTE:

Install the condensation water drain hose so that it is not twisted or crushed.

When installing the carpet, make sure it does not push up against the condensation water drain hose.

If the condensation water drain hose sits too loosely on the heater and A/C unit connection secure it from falling with for example a hose clamp. Refer to Parts Information for the correct hose clamp.
