Summary
SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT RUST OR BLISTERING ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE LIFTGATE/TRUNK LID, WHERE IT CONTACTS THE WEATHERSTRIP (AS SHOWN BELOW). THE PAINT MAY BECOME DAMAGED BY WEATHERSTRIP CHAFING CAUSED BY LIFTGATE/TRUNK LID VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. TO ELIMINATE THIS CONCERN ON CX-5, SILICONE IS APPLIED TO THE LIP OF THE WEATHERSTRIP TO REDUCE FRICTION AGAINST THE LIFTGATE.
