1. Seal spot welds of repaired area with seam sealant.

   Insert plastic plugs and grommets with sealing compound. Keep sealant away from welding nut thread and threaded bolts by masking with tape or by installing cardboard tubes. Also keep sealant away from drain openings and contact surfaces of axle mounts, discs or detachable body components.

Always seal accessible spot weld flanges on both sides. If accessible from one side, only seal corresponding surface.

Observe standard seals!
