WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Porsche Cayenne, 2009 Porsche Cayenne, and 2008 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Information

In the case of repair work, accessories must be sealed before assembly (painting) according to the following illustrations.
The sealing material, Wurth's "Klebt und Dichtet" body sealant can be applied directly to the components that are coated with KTL paint.
The seam seal can be painted over when it has reached approx. 70 % hardness (approx. 4 - 5 h at 20 °C, 50 % relative air humidity. Higher air humidity or dampening with water accelerates the hardening process).
The hardening can be checked with a nail test. Press a finger nail gently into the hardened sealing mass; if this causes no damage to the sealing mass surface, the seam seal can be painted.
