When replacing sheet metal detachable body components (trunk lid, etc.) and also sheet metal parts welded in place, carefully seal the folds and openings with body sealant in order to avoid corrosion and leaks.
Seal spot weld seams on both sides.
Observe following procedure:
1 Carefully clean affected body parts.
2 Apply sealant uniformly.
3 Spread body sealant evenly.
4 Maintain drying time before painting.
The brushes, wooden spatulas, etc. used to spread the body sealant should generally be cleaned only with naphtha.
If these objects are cleaned with paint thinner or other alcoholic liquids before applying the body sealant, the sealant does not cure.
