Outer Window Shaft Strip, Removing And Installing: Removing
The outer window shaft strip has a metal insert in the center.
If it gets bent, the outer window shaft strip can longer be straightened out again. It will remain "wavy".
Therefore the outer window shaft strip must be removed and installed evenly without bending it.
The removal and installation is only for the left outer window shaft strip. Removing and installing the right window shaft strip is identical.
