Underbody Protection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Porsche Cayenne, 2020 Porsche Cayenne, and 2019 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • In the event of repairs, after painting or before fitting units, restore standard stone guard/underbody protection according to the following illustrations. 
  • The surfaces must be dry and free of grease and dirt before applying underbody protection. Clean the areas with cleaning solution and a lint-free cloth. 
  • Only apply underbody protection to primed panels. 
  • The seam seal can be painted over when a skin has formed (about 15 - 30 minutes at 20°C, 50% relative air humidity. Higher air humidity or dampening with water accelerates the hardening process). 
  • Hardening can be checked by a nail test. Press your finger nail gently into the hardened material; if this causes no damage to the surface, the material can be painted. 
  • Paint over underbody protection within 3 days. 
IMPORTANT:
  • The sealing compound  > SEALING COMPOUND 000.043.207.67 can be applied as underbody protection by spraying it on using  > VAS 6648 - Pneumatic Gun, 18 bar  .
