Cross Section of Body and Sealants

General
NOTE: Follow the sealer manufacturer's instructions,
and apply the sealer. Note the following items:
Clean the areas to be sealed with wax and grease
●
remover.
Wipe off any excess spot sealer with thinner. After the
●
primer is sprayed, sealer will fill the area where the
spot sealer was wiped.
Make sure you can see the sealant when the sealed
●
part is in its proper location. For the details, refer to
engine compartment and damper housing (see page
5-3), front wheelhouse and front side frame (see page
5-4), dashboard upper, dashboard lower, and front
floor (see page 5-5), middle floor (see page 5-6), rear
floor and spare tire pan/roof panel (see page 5-7), rear
side outer panel and rear panel (see page 5-8), and
rear wheelhouse (see page 5-9).
When applying sealant to the engine compartment,
●
the door opening, and the trunk lid gutter, try to match
the appearance of the factory sealer. Wipe off any
excess sealer.
Apply sealer to any area that a replacement part will
●
cover. Smooth the sealer with a brush if necessary.
