- Seal connecting flanges in repaired areas with body sealant.
Observe standard sealing. Seal only primed body parts. Install plastic stoppers and grommets with sealant.
- Seal spot welds and rivets in repaired area with seam sealant material.
Keep sealant out of threads on weld nuts and threaded bolts by masking or covering with cardboard sleeves. Also keep drain openings and contact surfaces for axle attachments, windows and detachable parts free of sealant. It is necessary to seal accessible spot weld flanges on both sides. If accessible from one side, only seal corresponding surface.
- We differentiate between smoothing/wiping off (A) and sealing/spreading (B) when sealing joints.
