- When replacing structurally bonded body parts, proceed according to the information in the respective repair instructions.
- Only apply body sealant to primed sheetmetal parts.
- Apply single-coat top coat paint to the inside of the outer sheetmetal shell before welding.
- Build up paint on bright sheetmetal panels.
- Repair or create standard undersealing by applying long-life undersealing material.
- Preserve cavities in the repair area with cavity preservation after applying a single-coat top coat.
- Check that the standard water drains (plugs) are functioning correctly or clean them after the cavity preservation material has dried.
