Underbody sealer
Under floor areas and the front part of the spare wheel well are treated with a plastisol PVC underbody sealer. This material is
not suitable for re-treatment. When repairing areas of underbody sealer, strip the factory-applied underbody sealer back to a
suitable break point. Ensure that a clean metal surface is exposed and that the edge of the existing adheres soundly to the
panel.
Apply new underbody sealer between primer and surface paint operations. Apply seam sealer as necessary before application
of underbody sealer. Ensure that blanking plugs and grommets in the floor pan (except those used for wax injection) are fitted
before underbody sealer application. Refit any heat-fusible plugs which have been disturbed in repair with the aid of a hot air
blower, or replace with rubber grommets
CAUTION: Ensure that suspension units, wheels, tires, power unit, drive shafts, exhaust and brakes, (including all
mounting points), are shielded prior to application of fresh underbody sealer. www.JagDocs.com
