Leak Repair

LEAK REPAIR:


- Repair leaking seals by repositioning miss-installed seals, or replacing damaged seals.


- Use the appropriate seam sealer listed in TSB-93-00-007 (Information Concerning Sealants) to correct metal to metal seam leaks. ALWAYS APPLY THE SEALANT TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE LEAKING SEAM! Failure to do this may result in a new leak in a nearby area. Cover the under car seam repairs with a spray on undercoating.


- Use 3M Strip Caulk (3M # 8578) to repair door moisture barrier seals.


- Use 3M Short-Cut Windshield Adhesive Sealant (3M # 08600) to seal leaks around windshields, backlights, and fixed side glass.
