RAPGARD , paint inspection after removal
- Inspect painted surfaces under one of the
following lighting conditions:

Indoors under fluorescent lighting.
Outdoors under bright sunlight.

Important!:
If any defects on the exterior have been identified
(scratches, dings, dents and other types of body
damage):

- Contact your Service Manager and arrange to
repair defects immediately.

Note:

After removal of RAPGARD , some vehicles
may exhibit temporary paint discoloration or paint
swelling (caused by trapped moisture under the
RAPGARD ).

This temporary swelling is caused by the paint
finish absorbing moisture trapped under the
RAPGARD film.

Underbody closeout cover, installing at
Perfect Delivery Inspection (PDI)


To my 2002

Condition

New vehicles must have the rear under body close-out cover installed
during the PDI.
Covers were removed to access tie down cavities for transportation
purposes.
Production
Beginning Jan. 2002, new close-out covers (with holes for tie down
access) will be installed.
Service
Note:
Due to the vehicle pick up points, to ease installation of the close-out
covers, the use of a drive on hoist (i.e. alignment hoist) may be required.

Note:
Failure to install rubber plugs into tie down cavity will cause wind/road
noise inside vehicle. - Install rubber body plugs into vehicle tie down cavity (arrow).
