TYPES OF SEALER AND
APPLICATION
The all-purpose sealers described
as follows are for service use. The
method and points of application are
given under each sealer type. Also,
refer to Figs. 1 through
4
for sealer
application.
BODY SEALER BSA-19562-A
This fast drying, white sealer
which remains semi-elastic will not
run. It is easily cleaned up with a
dry cloth; however, if necessary, ap-
ply a solvent. This sealer, which pro-
vides an ex.cellent surface for paint,
is used for all seam sealing jobs such
as those that are found in the floor
pan, wheelhouse, dash panel, rocker
panel, door opening, quarter panel,
or drip rail. It is also used to seal
trim panel and outside moulding clip
holes while windshield and back
window installation is still another
use.
BLACK CAULK AND SEALER
B6A-19563-A
The combination black caulk and
sealer is of the same composition as
body sealer and is used in the same
areas. The color is gloss black instead
of white; however. this sealer is to be
used with dark colored paints or in
areas that are not visible.
BODY SEALER AB-19560-A
This sealer which is heavy bodied
<tnd is commonly known as "perma-
gum" has a plastic base with an
asbestos filler. It is used on spotweld
holes around moulding clips or be-
tween two surfaces not properly seal-
..:d by a gasket. Apply this sealer
with a putty knife.
CEMENT C2AZ-19C525-A
This cement is recommended for
mstrument panel safety cover and
body panel plastic water shieid in-
stallation. lt is also useful for repair
c•r
replacement or other vinyl and
rubber
trim.
RUBBER CEMENT SA-19552-B
This quick-drying, strong adhesive
material is designed to hold weather-
'>lripping on doors, bodies, deck lids,
cowl ventilators, and the surrounding
metal. Windows and windshields
which are set in rubber can be effec-
t
1vely sealed against leakage by flow-
mg cement into affected areas.
Clean all grease, dirt, and old
~·~aler
from the surfaces to be
•.:emented. For best results, apply a
medium coat of cement to both sur-
f.1ces, allow it to dry until tacky,
.:md press both surfat.:es firmly to-
.sether.
CLEANING SOLVENT
B7A-19526-A or B7A-19521-A
This general clean-up solvent
•.:leans off new or old cement smears,
wax, tars, oils, grease, caulk and
sealer. When desired, it can be used
to thin caulk and sealer. It is harm-
less
to
cured paint, but useful in
new car pre-delivery. It is important
to prevent either of these cleaners
from contacting vinyl or leather.
SILICONE LUBRICANT COAZ-
19553-A (JELLY) AND COAZ-
19553-B (SPRAY)
This lubricant is to be used on
the door window weatherstrips. It is
recommended that silicone lubricant
be applied to the upper weatherstrips
at every regular lubrication period.
Its uses makes the doors easier to
close, avoids weatherstrip ·squeaks,
retards excess weatherstrip wear from
chafing between the door glass upper
frame and weatherstrip, and helps to
retain door window alignment by re-
ducing friction between the glass
frame and rubber weatherstrip.

serves the car's appearance and re-
duces the cost of maintenance during
the life of the car. The following
steps are suggested as a guide for
regular body maintenance.

and wash the car.

leaks, and seal where necessary.
