Maintenance Tips of MG 10113141 Tailgate rubber strip for MG GS

- When aligning the strip, start from one end of the tailgate and gradually press it into place. Ensure it fits snugly along the edges.
- Use a heat gun on low setting if the rubber strip is a bit stiff. This makes it more flexible and easier to install on the MG GS.

Caution! Avoid over - stretching the MG Tailgate rubber strip during installation as it may cause premature wear and affect the seal.
