Front Body Repair

FRONT BODY REPAIR
See General Warning on page 1-2.

STRESS LINES OR STREAKS

Repeatedly flexing the front body may cause white stress lines or streaks in the finish. To remove them:
1. Hold a heat gun 12 inches (30 cm) away from the affected area, with the gun on its lowest heat setting.
2. Slowly wave the heat gun back and forth over the affected area until the streak fades.
3. It may be necessary to move the gun closer to the body to fade the streak, but under no circumstance should the
gun be held closer than 6 inches (15 cm) to the body. See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Holding heat gun too close to body could melt body or damage finish.

MINOR IMPACT DAMAGE/DEFORMATIONS

Minor impact damage in the front body can be repaired using a procedure similar to the one used to remove stress
lines. To remove deformations resulting from minor impact damage:
1. Hold a heat gun 12 inches (30 cm) away from the affected area, with the gun on its lowest heat setting.
2. Periodically remove the heat gun and bend the body, using a push block, in the opposite direction of the
deformation.
3. Continue heating and bending the body until the original shape returns. Under no circumstance should the gun be
held closer than 6 inches (15 cm) to the body. See preceding CAUTION.

MINOR SCRATCHES AND SURFACE BLEMISHES

For minor scratches or blemishes in the TPO body that do not penetrate the finish:
1. Thoroughly clean the affected area using a strong, non-abrasive detergent and hot water, then clean with
Ultra-Kleen ® Solvent Cleaner to remove any oil-based contaminants.
2. Apply a light coat of 210
cloth or buff pad. Do not use any kind of polishing compound on monocoat finished body assemblies.
3. Wax the entire body part to restore luster and weather protection.
