Seam seals, body of hybrid vehicles

Note Seam seals made during repair work must be identical in appearance and thickness to the original seam seals. To avoid damage or faulty operation, brush seam seals smooth near attachments which must be attached. Water drainage holes must remain clear. All threaded studs and welded nuts with metric threads as well as all other studs and contact surfaces for assembly must be functional following the extent of the sealing work. Sealant must never be applied to bare substrates. Substrates must always be filled first.

Coarse seam seals require that the sealant be applied at least 20 mm wide and 2 mm high.

Note When brushing the sealant seam, ensure that the sheet metal edges which are to be protected are not exposed and that the metal is covered with a sufficiently thick layer of PVC.
